hello,

I just built a new system with a7vn8x deluxe and an amd xp3000+ barton (333mhz). I flashed the bios and the sysem recognized the processor correctly, but when I reboot the post reads AMD processor at 1300 mhz. This is what it read before I flashed to the newest bios, and I thought everything was OK. I am not sure about bios settings in terms of whether or not I need to change something from the default setting, as I am not reallly familiar with the functionalities of the various settings.

Bios reads:
CPU external frequency 100mhz
CPU frequency mult. 13.0 x
Resulting Frequency 100 mhz
CPU vcore 1.650 v

Not sure if the above information is helpful, but I hope so as I am at a loss.
Suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Your components are faulty. Give them to me. :)

Just kidding. This pretty much tells you what you have to do:
set your jumper to 333FSB
(check your manual!)

That should change your cpu external frequency to 166MHz, multiply that by 13.... :) I think that's it, hopefully.

thanks so much to Jibby and JbTele....my jumpers were in the correct position to recognize the 333 fsb, so I changed the setting to 166 in the bios...recognized 3000+.

Thanks again for your help.
