Hi, I'm new here, but I need to ask a question that is really suited to any of the forums here...so perhaps you could add one titled "General Hardware Issues" or something....(just a thought).

I have just forked out for a new shiny, retail AMD Athlon XP 2000+
I put this beast in my machine (Albatron KX400+) and was informed that my CPU has changed, and told me what it had found, and asked me to adjust my frequency settings....

Thing is, it has detected the following:

CPU Speed Detected - AMD Athlon 1250
CPU Ratio - 12.5
Spread Spectrum - Enabled
CPU Clock - 100

Default CPU Voltage 1.750v
CPU Voltage - 1.750v
RAM Voltage 2.5v

I am using Windows XP Pro, and have run SiSpft Sandra, which also detected it as an Athlon 1250 - but I assume it gets this from the BIOS / CMOS or whatever....

What should these settings be adjusted to in order to get my true Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67 GHz)

Any help much appreciated...

Needs to be running on the 133 systems bus. Depending on the board.. you might have to remove a jumper (had to on my MSI) to get 133 bus speeds.. give 'er a shot and let us know..

Thanks for the swift reply. Do you mean to adjust the CPU Clock - 100 to 133?
If so, the highest it let's me go is 132....is this right? Or am I gonna have to alter a jumper...?

You sexy beast!! (No - I am not gay)
Jumper setting it was Mine can even take the new 333MHz Athlons

Mved the jumper (JP2) to it's second (out of 3) position. Athlon XP 1666 MHz.

Ran SiSoft Sandra again, and it tells me I have a shiny Athlon XP 2000+, core clock 1.67 GHz ==> MARVELLOUS.

I am such a dumbass. Thanks for your help m8y. Moved jumper, and things are great now (as you can tell ) - none of this "Athlon 1250" rubbish!!!

Thanks again

Regards

Splatty.
