AMD XP2000+

[caniroc]

I just finished my first build ever.
The parts: Soltek MB. AMD XP2000+ proc, 40 gig HD, 256 mb ram, nvidia fx5200 video.
The system is for the kids.
Anyway I got it booted up and loaded xp pro and all is good. The only weird thing I noticed is at the startup screen it says AMD athlon running at 1250. Shouldn't the 2000 be at 1667?
Something I need to chage in the bios?

You have the FSB set top 100. Change it to 133Mhz and you will be gold.

Dumb question but is it supposed to be set to 133?

Yup. 133MHz FSB * 12.5x mulitplier = 1.666GHz, which is the stock clock frequency of a AXP 2000+

Changed it in the bios. It had cjoice of 100 or 133. Clicked on 133 and saved changes. Is that it?

It happened to me when I bought a xp2700+ processor and it ran at 1.6ghz. I got confused and realized that my fsb wasn't what I was looking for so I changed the fsb speed and now it runs at 2.17ghz.
