I´ve been searching around on this forum and read alot but i´m still confused, the thing is I have a Athlon XP 2600+ (333 MHz FSB) but it only runs at 2000+ and not 2600+, the bios I have is 1001.G, I checked this at asus homepage bios and the cpu support, for a 2600+ they refer to bios 1001.C but they ad that if the motherboard BIOS version number is greater than the BIOS version listed at the homepage, then one will not need to flash the BIOS. They reffer to 1001.C and I have 1001.G but I dont get the full capacity out of my processor...... my memory is running at 200mhz, ok all info is very welcome!
 
Enter your bios, go to advanced / advanced chipset features and check that the CPU external frequency is 166MHz and that the CPU frequency multiple is 12.5. If not, change them and save and exit. If that should fail, go ahead and flash to 1003, then turn the system off, unplug it, take the battery out and clear the cmos using the jumper. Then give it a try. Peace.
 
Dude, flash the BIOS anyway. It eases out some kinks that are in your current BIOS. Also, just because the BIOS doesn't recognize the cpu as 2600+ doesn't mean its not running at the speed its supposed to. XP 2600+s run at 2.08 Ghz so as long as the FSB is at 166 (333DDR) with a 12.5 multiplier then you're running at the right speed regardless of whether the BIOS knows which cpu you actually have.
