...Well, their web site does anyway. My Athlon XP 2000 has served me well; but I recently reset my BIOS configuration and I need to know all of the details about my processor so that I can configure it properly. AMD is apparently hiding their online PDF manuals for specific processors. Can I get some help, please?

I'm a bit confused what data you need? The bios should have detected and configed the CPU for it's default settings. What particular settings are a problem for you?

12.5x133 = 1.66GHz, run it at default voltage.
That what you need?

If your BIOS isn't automatically configuring your FSB and CPU speed then it's probably too old and needs to be updated.

some corporate websites are good, some aren't. Go figure. You'd think there'd be a minimum standard, considering how much money these corporations make, but there isn't, I've seen some pretty piss-poor sites. Not saying that AMD is one of them; it isn't the greatest but there are far worse.

you don't even need to set it... all you need to set is the FSB... which is 133MHz
