hi
i just bought these two items and when i boot up it boots at 1.1ghz. I go into the bios and it has a softmenu 3 setup. When i go in there it has a preset for the 2500+ processor in which the external clock is at 166mhz and the multiplier is at 11.0. It says the cpu internal multiplier is at 1100mhz (100 x 11.0) AGP frequency is at 66mhz. Anyone know how to make this processor run at the speed it should? helppp
it has an option where it says CPU Operating Speed: 2500+ and you can change that to user define and then be able to change the multiplier and clock speed. But its set at 2500+ so i dont know why you would have to change it. The clock is at 166 so i dunno whats goin on

yeah just change the clock speed yourself to 166. That is weird though how it set it low like that.

the odd thing is is that in the softmenu 3 setup it says the external clock is at 166mhz but up at the top it says cpu internal freq. 1100mhz (100 X 11).

it has this auto setting for the 2500+ processor but for some reason its running at 100

So just change it yourself to 166.

its at 166 but its running at 100

Just change the speed to "User defined" and set it to 11x166 (11x200 is fun too 🙂 ) I have same combination and it did the same thing.

Whered you get your cpu?
