66mhz FSB on Athlon XP 1700+???

[vonplyr]

Hi everyone,

I just ran 3dmark2003 and got a lowly 200 points for my cpu score, which is extremely low when compared to other athlons running at 1.47ghz, where the avg. score was well over 300. It said my fsb was running 66 mhz seems strange to me, shouldnt it be at 133mhz? i check my bios and i got my cpu at 133mhz, how do i check my fsb? im clueless... please help.....

-thanks.

download CPU ID and run it. You can find it here. It will tell you:

thanks for the swift response!
it says my fsb is at 132.8mhz. i guess that means im ok, right?

can anyone explain the extremely low cpu score though, cuz it was down basically at the bottom of the list at futuremark when comparing cpu's at similar speeds.

thanks.

That's a pretty popular board. Which also means there are tons of resources online about it.... amdmb.com forums maybe?
