Athlon XP chip

[chrisk]

I have recently tried to upgrade by PC by purchasing aAthlon XP 3200+ processor. My previous processor was an Athlon XP 1.2. The PC runs ok but the processor is showing as "Unknown type 1466" Can anyone tell me how I can get the pc to recognise the correct speed of the processor?

id say the cpu runs at a kower fsb (133 instead of 200?)
which mobo do you have?

1466MHz/133MHz=11x
11x200MHz=2200MHz=AMD Athlon XP 3200+
I agree with Unzlbunzl. Your motherboard not recognize it correctly. You must try update BIOS. If your motherboard is on other chipset than nVidia nForce 2 or VIA KT600 it will not be supported at stock speed.

Thanks for the help. My motherboard is Kinetiz 7E with a Apollo KT133A chipset and the bios is about 6 years old, I am running Windows Vista.

your chipset is limted to a lower fsb than the athlon xp 3200+ is expected to run at

That chip is not supposed to run on that board.

I have it. The bios isn't supporting that cpu, stops at xp2600+, really don't know how you can run that cpu on it. Lucky guy
