Hey everybody I have an AMD XP 2000+ and for ssome reason its only running at 1.2 gigs. Either I'm dumb and its supposed to run at that speed or I got ripped off or finaly theres something wrong with my damn computer. Can some one help!!!

Check your Bios settings and update your bios if an update is available. It sounds like the settings are set at default for your motherboard. Check the manufacters web site for more info. I had the same problem with a 2100+ and that took care of it.

i got a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ myself.. and it runs 1666Mhz.. but i think you got running 100FSB running instead of 133FSB in your BIOS

Check it out and see

Thanx for both of you're help but I dont really know how to check the BIOS can either of you tell me how? I just looked on my motherboard box and it says FSB 200 / 266 what the heck does that mean?


MY PC SPECS

HD - Maxtor 30 gig 7200 rpm
CPU - AMD XP 2000+
Video - Radeon 7500 64 DDR
CD-Rom - LG 52x
CD-RW - LG 40x12x40
RAM - 256 MB DDR
Mother Board - Gigabyte GA-7VRXP
OS - Win XP Pro

it should tell you how to set it up in your motherboard manual..........

The best thing to do is go to the Gigabyte Web site and download the owners manual for your motherboard it should have step by step directions on how to set up the bios settings. I agree with SUPR3M3 I bet the fsb is set to 100 and it sould be 133. That is the front side bus speed setting. You should be able to enter the bios menu by hitting the "Delete key'" during boot up before winxp loads. I hope this helps But do not change any settings without consulting the manual first or you may have so problems but check the FSB it should be 133 if not change it . that will not cause you any other problems.

Thanx a bunch I'll have to try it out tonight. I'll come back after I fix the problem.

See Ya

change the jumper / switch / BIOS setting, what ever it is to 266fsb
OK!

LOL my 2000+ was set @ 1.2GHz when I installed it, I was so mad because I upgraded from a T-Bird 1.2GHz and I didn't notice a diffrence, until I checked the BIOS.

I changed something in my bios it was called something like Clock frequncy or something when I changed my computer wouldnt start anymore. To make it start I had to take the battery out then put it back in. Now my clock was behind when I booted my pc up. I changed the time but I dont know weather it's working properly now.

Can anybody tell me what the thing is called in the BIOS to change the FSB stuff?

Thanx everybody I finaly found out how to make it work.

Now my processor is at 1.6 gigs.
