A friend of mine has got a new rig, with an Athlon XP 2600+ ,512MB DDR 400Mhz ram and an MSI KT4VL
motherboard, when he starts his computer, it says Athlon XP 1250Mhz, then it says DDR 333Mhz,
I know that only Athlon 64 runs DDR 400Mhz, but what's up with the 1.25Ghz??? Why does it run like that?
It shows the same thing in Windows, I thought he got the wrong CPU by accident, but there's no such Athlon XP that is 1250Mhz! The slowest one is 1.4Ghz, right? And how does such CPU run 333Mhz memory? Isn't it too slow to run this memory?
Any help would be appreciated.
