Hi!

I installed a new Motherboard (Gigabyte - K7 Triton), now my Athlon XP 2100+ is detected as a Athlon 1500+ by the System.
I took a look at my CPU stats and there was the Problem:

The Multiplier is set to 13, but the System Clock is set to ~100 MHz where it should be 133Mhz (according to toms guide ;) ).

What can I do to give my cpu the power it deserves?
(My current settings on the motherboard are "auto" in the multiplier switch and the frontside bus switch)

Cu Timo

Its the bios, okay :) I thought there were jumpers or somethink, but the bios is cool :)

266Mhz is the max that the Athlon xp 2100 can deal with, hm?
I feal the system to run faster.... juhu =)

Splendid
Is that a new chip, or an old core? If it's a tbred b core, it should get to 2ghz on a good mobo. The old palominos, and tbred a chips cant get much past 133 fsb.

I think its palomino, its a AMD Athlon XP 2100+.
Hm... I have a watercooling system, but I don't think its good for my cpu to overclock, hm?

>2100+ is the limit for a Palomino core I'm afraid.

Oh that is sooooo untrue ! Palomino can get up to 2110+ - 2120+ easily with phase change cooling.
