You have your multiplier settings wrong. Go into your bios and you will find
a setting which will let you increase the front side bus speed to 133. You
are currently set at 100.

This is not an XP issue. You need to go to the AMD site
and do some searching and reading on BIOS settings. Good
luck.

Read your motherboard manual to learn how to set the FSB. Your FSB
(front side bus speed) is incorrect. Normally this is either set by
jumpers on the MB or sometimes the CMOS setup program itself can do
it.
