What's the real speed?

Hi.

I've got an unlocked XP2500 CPU running on a 2.0 A7N8X Dlx board with
a pair of 512Mb DDR400 memory sticks. In the BIOS it's set to run at
200MHz fsb with a multiplier of 11x. The memory is set to 100%.

The machine runs perfectly without any problems. At boot, it reports
an XP3200+ CPU. WCPUID reports an XP3200+ running at 2204.99 MHz
(200.45 Clock and 11.0 multiplier).

However, AIDA32 3.88 claims my CPU is an AMD Athlon XP-A, 1800MHz (5.5
* 327), 2400+. Also, MBM5 reports an 1867MHz CPU.

Am I being paranoid, is this just bugs in the above programs or is
there something else afoot?

cheers,
MikeW

That is a bit strange, some programs may get the name of the CPU wrong
but they should all be showing the same MHz the CPU is running at.
