Hi i recently bought at 2800+ XP

I have it on a:

SOLTEK 75FRN2-L NFORCE2 SOCKETA DUAL DDR AGP8X 5PCI ATA133 SOUND LAN

I was told that they would work together.

Well my problems is that it shows the CPU to be a 2200+ for some reason. I have checked the CPU and it is a 2800+

I also checked my BIOS and it only shows the frontside bus to be 100 or 133 and not even the 166 normal setting for a 2800+

What's wrong and more importantly what should i do?

Check in your bios for a user difned mode for your fsb. this should allow you to change it to 166.

This is related to your bios settings though. It thinks you have a 2200 because your bios tells it that.

i had that problem with a customer's new computer i built with an AMD 2500+, bios was setup properly, it posted as a 2500 but showed the actual speed as 2gig on the next screen. the fact i knew about the 20% difference between post speed & actual speed meant i didn't have to worry about it

I actually fixed it.

The problem what some kinda jumper node on my motherboard.

I just had to move something over on my frontside bus...

it works great now.

Thanks for all the input!
