Motherboard incompatible with CPU?

[haydz]

GIGABYTE GA-7VT600P-RZ Socket A Motherboard is the motherboard I have recently aquired. I have an AMD athlon 2800 xp or it might be 3200 :S I threw out the box and no hardware can identify it.

My CPU is running at 1110.95 MHz and FSB 101.00 MHz, they should be running at a much higher speed than this! I have two 512 Kingmax ram in there, but it is only showing up as 512.

Are my two components incompatible ? if they arent then what could be the problem? I have already reset the bios, and tried gigabytes bios settings and no luck!

Can anyone help me ? anything ive missed?

Thanks!

well i found out that they are compatible, so it must be the memory?

yes/no?

You need to change a jumper on the mobo to increase the FSB to 166mhz

Or 200 if it is an XP3200. You may want to find that little point out before you go any further.
