when i go into system in the general tab it says my
processor is an amd athlon 1.10ghz processor. my question
is shouldnt it say its an amd athlon xp2500+ 1.833 ghz
processor? (iam thinking where i bought my computer they
put in the wrong processor) does anyone else have amd xp
processors and what do your's say under the general tab
in system?

thanks

Either they put in the wrong processor or the FSB is set incorrectly. If you
paid for a XP2500+ contact the seller for correction.

The answer's simple (and no, they didn't put in the wrong CPU as an XP
processor with a clock speed of 1.1GHz doesn't exist). The FSB is set
incorrectly - you have a Barton CPU and, as such, it runs on a higher FSB
than the standard Athlon XP CPUs. The FSB is currently set at 100 - you need
to raise it to 166. How you do this is dependent on your BIOS - you would
need to consult your system or motherboard manual. This has nothing
whatsoever to do with Windows.
