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

']You have to go into the computer bios and set the CPU speed to the
specified
setting. If, for instance, you have a CPU that runs at 133 mhz, but the
bios
has dropped it down to the "safe" mode of 100 mhz, this will happen.
Please look at your M/B manual or your computer manual. You can also go
to
the web page for your computer manufacturer and search in their
support
section for directions.

I have an AMD Athlon 1200 processor in my computer but it shows up as
900 in the start up screens and in the System Tools / System
Information
'Processor x86 Family 6 Model 4 Stepping 2 AuthenticAMD ~900 Mhz'.
I am not underclocking because I would not have the foggiest notion
how
to go about it.
My motherboard is an MSI 745 Ultra
The bios is American Megatrends Inc. 07.00T, 02/04/2001
My Operating System is XP Home Edition 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build
2600
Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
