Well I think u just wrote the "CPU Bus Frequencies and Multipliers for Noobs" cheeers. Very helpfull. I know Im going to sound dumb but I hadnt quite twigged that fsb speed was so directly connected to the processor speed before. (Yes I knew it stood for front side bus just wasnt to sure what...

It is a 333 FSB 2600 2.083ghz model (tbred I think) chip , but Ive got to admit I didnt think that it would be any worse in any way than a 266 one. So are u saying then that a 266 FSB tbred xp 2600 will run and work as a xp 2600 in a 133/133 k7s5a mobo but the the 333 FSB 2600 tbred xp chip...

Sorry in what way works fine , because it runs at 1.5ghz i.e. a xp1800, but its actually a xp 2600 (tbred I think) . Do u mean if u solder some connections different or oc the bios to run at 166/133 and somehow by overclocking type means get it to run at 26000 thats fine or do u mean a 2600...

Thanks for all the advice , I had a quick look at the cheepoman bios and basically it means pushing the fsb speed beyond the standard limits. I am only really interested in doing stuff the boring safe way. Its just a bit anyoying that for the talk on various boards about sticking a xp 2600 in...

Thanks for the reply, Ive checked out the clockwith sisoft sandra and it says its running at 1.53 ghz. (making it a xp1800). You say it should be 4/5 of what its rated, but that would be rated as a xp 2100 and its not even that its only 1800. So is there no way of increasing the multiplier to...

Hi, Ive got a k7s5a mobo rev1.0 and Ive just stuck in a xp 2600 2.083ghz chip (which I think is a tbred) .Ive flashed it with the latest official rom 021029.rom (also tried the 020809.rom). The good news is that it runs the bad news is that it claims its a xp1800. (Not sure what clock it thinks...
