BIOS settings for CPU

[silentScope]

Hi, for the BIOS setting for the CPU, i dont get how to set it according to your CPU speed. I have the Athlon XP 2100+ but it shows as default as a 1.3 ghz. I remember seeing somewhere its suppose to be 1.7 so how do i change it? I dont get how that thing in bios works...

I also have an Athlon XP 2100+ . What i did was go into the bios and switch it to 133/133 Now it registers correctly at 1.733 ghz.

Thanks, but how do you know what to set it as? What if i had a 2000+

you are only setting the cpu bus speed, 133 in your case, and the multiplier info is taken from the cpu itself.

Hence once the bus is set, everything sets up by itself and will show the correct cpu ID.
