Just upgraded my CPU from a 2600 to 2800 i checked the setting in the
motherboard bios and I have the settings the same The 2600 i had running at
2.1g the 2800 will only go to 1.2g Is there something else I need to
change? I'm using a Gigabyte GA-7NNXP MB ..

The 2600 and 2800 probably don't use the same Multiplier in the Bios.
Your Processor speed is a function of the
FSB ( Front Side Bus ) usually 166 x Multiplier which should be 13.5
or Auto. I think you can also try 333 fsb x 7
Check the Bios again.

Hi,

Try boot into BIOS and then clear the CMOS and load the Load Optimized
Default,
save and exit BIOS setup. let windows load and check the CPU speed by right
click MY Computer/Properties.
If still no go, try update the mobo BIOS.
