HELP!! 2100 or 2700???
The AMD Althlon 2700+ only runs at 2.17Ghz. This is a marketing thing for
AMD to keep up with Intel. This chip run's "as fast" as an Intel 2.7Ghz chip. "Toby" wrote in message ...

Make sure your bus speed is correct in your BIOS. You may be running at
100mhz when the 2700 cpu should be at 133mhz. "Toby" wrote in message ... My computer is saying that its a 2100+ running at 1.7Ghz .. Its supost to be 2.1 right?? "Chris Lanier" wrote in message ...

You may have to configure your motherboard (if your motherboard even accepts the chip) or you may have to flash the BIOS, etc. BTW - I noticed you gave your email (it looks real enough) - if so, expect some spam increase in your inbox. Some may look like they are from Microsoft, 99% of them will not be.. Never install patches unless you downloaded them from a reliable source. -- Shenan Stanley "Just trying to help" ------------------------- How to use XPs Help and Support http://tinyurl.com/fltf How to Use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups http://tinyurl.com/fkja How do I go about posting an informative question? http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm How to use Google http://www.google.com/help/basics.html http://tinyurl.com/fkmc ------------------------- |

In the bios, adjust your front side bus speed to whatever the CPU runs at
(100 mhz, 133 mhz, 166 mhz etc). "Toby" wrote in message ... My computer is saying that its a 2100+ running at 1.7Ghz .. Its supost to be 2.1 right?? "Chris Lanier" wrote in message ...

Set it for 166 and be done with it! The M/B gives you an effective doubling
of the 166+. Hence, 333 mhz. "Seth" wrote in message ... rstlne wrote: "Toby" wrote in message ...
