Improper cpu detection in post

Ok, I have a Intel slot 1 board with the 440 bx chipset. I bought a P2-266 processor off of egay........ the bios detects it as a 233.....???? The markings on the cpu suggest 266 w 512 l2 cache. What gives?
Any ideas?

Thanks
 
It might be an incorrect front side bus setting. There should be a table on Intel's Website with the correct FSB settings for the processor. Then it's just a matter of changing the jumpers on your mobo.
 
UPDATE!!!!!!

I changed the jumper to go into the bios config mode. I told it I had a 266 mhz processor. It booted and showed a P2-266. COOL. I guess I am spoiled to abits jumperless motherboards with automatic detection.....
🙂 I rekon I could tell it I had a P2-300 🙂 ...... kinda a primative overclocking method...........


Thanks for your help.......
