Windows Incorrectly Detects CPU Speed
A few months ago I upgraded my dad's IBM APTIVA from a 350MHz to a 500MHz AMD K6-2 CPU. I replaced the chip, I didn't overclock it. I set the appropriate jumpers on the board and everything was fine. The BIOS and OS (Windows 98SE)properly detected the correct CPU speed. Today, I performed a clean wipe and installed Windows 2000. The BIOS detects the proper speed but System Information reads it as a 249MHz. I downloaded Sisoft Sandra Pro and it reported the same spec - a 249MHz CPU. I feel as long as the BIOS reads it correctly then it should be OK. Why the OS doesn't is a mystery. Anyone have any theories?
