multiplyer problem??

[Havoklee]

i had a msi kt6v lsr but it died on me and fried my ram, i was given a skt600 chainteck board by a freind to get me buy so i put my ahtlon xp 3200+ barton core in it but after booting up to windows it thinks the cpu is a athlon xp 1900+ at 1.45ghz. is there any thing i can do to fix this? i have allready flashed the bios to update it but that didn't affect it at all.

browse for cpuz

use it, post what it reports


maybe just a bios id string messed up

barton 3200 is 11*200, 1900+ is 12*133, id fsb is wrong should be 11*133.33 and 12.133.33, different real speeds.


My guess.


Let's see cpuz.

cpuz says amd athlon xp barton core socket a thecnology 0.13 um xp 1900+ family 6 ext family 7 model A ext model A stepping 0 core speed 1478.4 mhz multiplier x11.0 bus speed 134.4 mhz rated FSB 268.8 mhz

It's a FSB problem, it should set it to 200 but it's running on 133.

Try to set it in the bios. Or check if there is some switch on the board, for quick setting of the fsb sometimes they put a switch.



If you need to oveclock the board to get the 200 fsb, check if you have a lock on pci and agp speeds (33 for pci and 66 for agp, if you oc on todays' boards, they are locked and you have 33 and 66 no matter the fsb, but if it's unlocked you have pci and agp at fsb/x, thus getting 34 to 40 mhz on pci and 66 to 100 on agp, that could fry your components).

I don't advise you to oveclock it unless you really know what you are doing.

ok i will try to change it on the board
