identifying CPU

[oly2100z]

I just bought and installed an AMD 1600+ XP CPU. When I checked in device manager and Sandra they reported that I have a 1.05 Ghz CPU. Is this accurate? Is there a more accurate way to check or was I sent the wrong CPU?Thanks

you may need to check in the bios and see if your fsb is set at 133.

Thanks for the education, I found the jumper on the MB for 133 FSB and everything is reporting correctly, although I see my temp is going through the roof now 60deg C

Does it crash? no? then its ok!
the software programs used to monitor temps are notoriously bad, but even if it is that temp its ok. bout what one owuld expect from a stock cooler. Gets the job done with minimum of fuss.
