    Athlon 1133 Problem

    Honestly, I can't say for sure. However, I think I have two sticks of 133 and an additional stick of 100. I guess that other stick would create a problem, huh? Edit: I took out the PC100 assuming it might cause a problem (would it?). No change. But I'm fairly sure my motherboard is the...

    Athlon 1133 Problem

    Unfortunately that did not fix the problem. However, I do know one (rather costly) way to fix it now. I appreciate the help.

    Athlon 1133 Problem

    Ah. You're right. I have the FSB set at 100. That should fix it. Thanks.

    Athlon 1133 Problem

    I just bought an Athlon at 1.13 gHz and put it in my ABIT KT7 but I've been having a problem. As far as I can tell it only runs at 850 mHz. I've changed the multiplier factor in the BIOS to 11x but it doesn't change anything. I've updated my BIOS and that didn't help. I suppose the processor...

    Booting up a new computer

    It's an IBM Deskstar 75GXP, master on IDE1. Just that one. Pioneer 16x DVD/40x CD. I guess the BIOS hasn't detected it because I even used the floppy that came with the drive and I did partition it with that but I get the exact same error. Neither FDISK nor format work either. I got into the...
