Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
There are no jumpers for the CPU speed on this Motherboard
The bios had set the CPU speed down to 100mhz for some reason. I reset
it up to 133mhz and restarted the computer. The CPU now shows up as AMD
Athlon 1200, which it did before I had to do a clean install of Windows
