I'm using an Athlon 1500 XP, but Windows is showing it as a 1000 speed. What's
up? I think I had this chip in another system that showed it at 1400.

How can I tell how hot it is running using Windows XP, of do I have to go into
the bios? thanks.

Set the FSB to 133MHz instead of the 100MHz you have it set at now. (It
runs 1.33GHz = 10 x 133.3MHz)

Make sure the FSB is running at 133MHz, and not 100MHz. The Athlon XP
1500 should run at 1.33GHz
