CPU speed not right

XP 2600 only show up as a XP2000 on a soyo kt600 dragon plus. Bios is set to auto detect cpu. How do i get it to show the proper speed?

thank you kindly,

Curly
 
the 2600+ you have is basically 12.5 X 166Mhz FSB. YOU have to increase your front-side bus from 133 Mhz to 166Mhz. Goto BIOS setup and change the bus frequency to 166 Mhz, and that should solve your problem
 
Turns out i cant do 165. I get severe font corruption and an unstable system. Vid card doesn't like the higher frequencies. Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
after reading a review at newegg, I looks as if there is a jumper you need to change on the motherboard before the FSB can be changed. Im guessing the jumper sets it to go from 133-165 166-200. youll have to read the manual that came with the motherboard to find this.
 
Thanks for the help guys. It was a jumper on the mobo. I had it set to 133. Changed it to 166 and all is fine.

I am sorry to waste your to when I could have solved by reading the damned manual.


Thanks again....I am old and forgetful.🙂
