| 127780 | 2003-03-13 09:33:00 | I have an AMD Athlon XP1700 and all my friends have just upgraded there processors to 2GHz+. Anywayz, so I was checking my processor speed under system properties on Windows XP and it says that is 1.1GHz. Is this right?, i thought it would be 1.47GHz. Its always been like that as far as i can remember, i just never thought much of it until now Its a package system that i brought just under a year ago and i kind of like to get this sussed if somethings wrong before the warranty expires. The motherboard model is K7S5A, its SIS i think. Any help will be much appreciated. |

| 127783 | 2003-03-14 00:15:00 | Tweak'e is right, Check in your system BIOS (Likely hit DEL at boot). It may be called DRAM Frequency, as with my mobo, but increase it to 133/133mhz and you'll get your full speed! Had me stumped for ages when building my PC! |
