Bus Clock says 66 mhz with Athlon 1800 XP

I just read an article on this site that stated they "opened the Athlon to adjust the clock speed" My new computer with a ECS K7s5a Mo. Bo. 392 mb PC 2100 DDR ram an Athlon XP 1800 processor and an ATI 8500 64mb DDR video card states on several analizing sites (Belarc.com ect) that the bus clock is 66 mhz. I called AMD and ECS, they say this is a software mistake. I set the BIOS at 133/133 frequency, and have done everything I can think of. CAN THE BUS CLOCK BE SET FROM WITHIN THE PROCESSOR??? IF SO HOW. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...Billy

 
Your computer has more than one bus speed. There is the FSB which should be running at 133, then there's the AGP bus which should be running at 66 (which I'm guessing is what you're seeing) and the PCI which should be running at 33. As long as your computer reports your processor as running at 1.53GHz, you're in good shape.
 
Classic ecs and software issue...I noticed this almost 8 months ago...Nothing but software bug and/or lack of support fot the ecs sis735 chipset...plain and simple...

Don't worry about it...
