A64 3000 running at 1.8ghz?

[blkdragon]

I've got a chaintech vnf3/a64 3000 w/ the 5/7 bios. The problem is that the chip is only running at 1.8ghz. In cpu-z 123, the multiplier shows up as 9. What's up with that? To my knowledge I did not change the multiplier. Anyone have any suggestions?

Does it have 1MByte of cache?

Is it the Clawhammer core? They run @ 1.8ghz and have 1MB cache. The Newcastle runs @ 2.0ghz but have 512KB cache.

It's the newcastle. Before I began changing the bios. The multi was 10 and it ran stock at 2 ghz.

Fixed. I didn't know that Hammer Fid Control in the bios is the multiplier. Anyways it was set to "startup" so I changed it to 10x2000 and now the proc. is at 2.0ghz.

Just to set the record straight, not all Clawhammers have 1 meg cache. The 3000+ Clawhammer, which I have, has 512k cache, and runs at 2.0 gig. On these early Clawhammer models AMD disabled half the cache, to make a version they could market for less money.
