My Processor thinks its slower than it really is

[Guest]

I have just bought a NF24ALH - Mach4 NVIDIA nForce 2 400 Socket A ATX Mainboard when I put it in and put the power on for the first time due to I have lost my Windows 98 CD in some of the applications I had to skip a couple of files. I then decided to upgrade to Windows XP so I disabled Go Back and installed Windows XP. When I went into the Bios to configure it I must have hit something else because when I rebooted It didn’t want to start to I had to wipe my CMOS memory this worked but on the screen where you hit delete to get into the BIOS it said I only had I 1.3GHZ processor when I actually have a AMD XP 3000+ Also it said I was only running at 200mhz FSB when my motherboard is actually 400MHZ. How to I get these to talk to each other to produce the right quality? In Bios under the Advanced Chipset Frequency it only goes up to 200MHZ not 400. I also don’t know how to tell it I’ve got a different processor to it thinks.

Please can you hel

P.S. I run on Windows XP with a NF24ALH - Mach4 NVIDIA nForce 2 400 Socket A ATX Mainboard and a GF FX5200 128mb DDR TV nVidia Graphics card. 256mb 400mhz FSB DDR ram. I’m using the onboard-integrated sound. An AMD XP 3000+ processor, which thinks it’s a AMD 1303 processor. And Direct X 9.0b

Any downloads will have to come through a different PC due to this computer doesn’t even have a modem!

I hope I’ve given you enough info for you to repl

Hi

I had a similar problem with a Jetway M/B and found that it had a jumper setting for the FSB speed on it which needed to be set . Check the manual for your board and make sure you have the jumper set correctly; if the M/B has one of course
