ECS k7s5A and 66mhz FSB

[Mail5398]

I have set my motherboard to 133/133 in the bios. The motherboard recognizes the processor as XP 2000. I can not figure out why my fsb is still at 66mhz. My machine is scoring terribly on any memory test or hard drive test I run.

System Info says cpu running at 1.62 ghz fsb at 66mhz.
system specs

XP 2000+ processor
ECS k7s5a motherboard with latest bios
256 MB of PC-150 Ram
40 GB Quanum drive (ATA 66) 7200 rpm
Geforce 2 Mx 400 Videodard

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried several other PC-133 Ram.

my bios says 133 FSB but CPU Cool says 66 FSB.

I"ll believe the bois over the program.

Interesting. Thanks for the response. Anyone else in this situation.

well, here is what i think!

simple test...

you said 1.62 Ghz /66 Mhz ---> a multiplier of 24.5!!! I do not think that this is even possible with any athlon out there, much less motherboard support for it!

I might be wrong though... 😛

I wouldn't worry about it, Your most likely running on a 133 FSB and not 66 FSB. I remember seeing a post about this on here before. It had to do with lot of software reading the XPs FSB as 66 and not 133. I run this little proggie CPUFSB and it also tells me that i'm running my XP on a 66FSB (K7S5A too), but i'm not.
