51865 2002-06-01 03:33:00 The PIII is displaying 602mhz speed (system properties) does that sound right, or a sign of overclocking?

Sometimes(twice) on first power up, BIOS starts up automatically and says system hung for incorrect frequency form CPU(or something similar)?

RESET and loads up without problems.

Any ideas appreciated.

There are motherboards that can increment the MHz up by 1MHz in the BIOS but what's being reported doesn't mean it's overclocked it's just running a little faster and is nothing to worry about.
