It may seem as if we're nit-picking, but my office and myself just purchased an Asus A7V, AMD T-Bird 1.1Ghz as well as 256mb of Toshiba PC-133 to use as a midrange server. When we boot the computer up, the BIOS reports the CPU is running at 1066Mhz, rather than the expected 1.1Ghz(aka 1100Mhz or something close to it). Now I know it's only 34Mhz off, but we purchased a 1.1Ghz CPU and expected to get number's close to that(plus a 1.1Ghz cost roughly $200 more than the 1Ghz AMD CPU).
We have the dip switches setup properly(11.0 x 100Mhz), yet we still get 1066Mhz. We dont want to overclock the CPU either. Anyone know what we need to do to get this baby rolling? Or are we stuck waiting for a new motherboard to come out that better supports this specific CPU.

P.S. We also purchased a ATA-100 60GB IBM Hard drive for this system. If we were to setup WinNT WkStn or Server on it, would we need to take the drive off the ATA-100 port and place it on the regular primary IDE port to enable WinNT to recognize it?

Thanks Alot!

First, if you update to bios 1004, your problem will be solved... it will indead report 1100MHz on boot up...
HOWEVER, even with bios showing 1066MHz with I assume 1003 bios...your system still is running at 1100MHz...if you don't believe that, you can download a program call wcpuid and check out yourself...
