100 or 133 FSB?

[Joe727]

Hi - I just bought a new Athlon 1.1 Ghz CPU on an MSI MS-6389 motherboard which is a mobo made for Gateway.

Right now the FSB jumper on the mobo is set at 133 Mhz. That's the way it arrived.

Question - Should I leave it at 133 Mhz or set the FSB jumper to 100 Mhz?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Well that depends , what does the machine boot up as ?

1100 Mhz or 1463 Mhz ???

if the multiplyer is locked at 11 i guess it should be on a 100 mhz bus ( if you don't want to overclock )

Thanks for responding. Right now the jumper on the motherboard is set at 100 Mhz. I am still putting the PC together.

Is the Athlon a 100 or 133MHz FSB version?

Since u r still putting in those parts...take a quick look at the core. Is it a "B" or a "C" version. Tht should tell u which default FSB u should set.

and before you ask where this is located, look at the top line of the CPU stepping code

Hi - that's what I am not sure of.

I looked at the FSB jumper on the motherboard again. It's actually set for 100 Mhz, not 133 Mhz as I first thought.

Hi - it came with the heatsink/fan installed.

-snip to move here - and before you ask where this is located, look at the top line of the CPU stepping code -

I am not sure where to look.

Thanks

just boot up with the jumper at 100FSB and see what speed you geting if its less then 1.1Ghz then put the jump to 133FSB

Yup. Tht's another way to find out. If u set @ 100 FSB & the PC didn't boot up as Athlon 1.1Ghz. Simply change the FSB to 133. Simple.

Thanks for your help - it's 100 fsb.
