HELP!!! ECS L7S7A2 Multiplier???

i wonder why the jumper , if set manually , to anything other than "by cpu"
the computer won't boot? if left to manual , and set timing in bios to 166
(333 ) it boots as it should to XP2500+ AMD but WinXP says it is running @
1866 MHz--that seems slow , i think i had a 2400XP(266 FSB) that ran at 2.1
MHz?? if i try to set jumper FIDJP1 to 7.5 X 33 = 2500 , computer won't
boot, or for any other shorted jumper multipliers it won't boot , even after
clearing cmos each time , and / or setting bios to manual?? any thoughts??
thank you

i think i answered my own question , the barton runs at a lower clock speed
than the thoughobred , i think??

The 2500+ defaults are 11 multiplier, and FSB of 166Mhz. So that's a
default clock rate of 1833MHz. The 2400+ is 2000MHz, but has only half the
L2 cache memory, thus why the clock speed is lower on the 2500+.

Now, if your cpu is locked, there's no need to mess with the jumpers. And
it looks like your board does not support any FSB changes, so it will use
the default as defined by the cpu bridges (166MHz for 2500+). If your cpu
isn't loacked, then you should be able to set the multiplier up to 12.5.
That'll give you 2083MHz, a 2800+. And unless you have an older 2500+,
it's probably locked. Look at the date code on third line, after the
stepping code. If it's later than 0338 (week 38 of 2003), there's a 99.99%
chance that it's locked. Now if you can find a bios that will let you
change the FSB, then you could get more speed by raising the FSB clock.

thanks wes , my bios will let me raise to like 175 so probaly more than i
can cool? but i'll boost it a little at a time pete
