it is an amd it says on the top

AMD Athlon
AX1700dmt3c
41063912038
1999 AMD

it is green and is supposed to be an athlon xp but boots up in motherboard as 1100mhz athlon
i think it is because of motherboard which is a shuttle ak12 i think its just an athlon/duron board i dont think it supports athlon xp's
if you can tell me that the processor is indeed an athlon xp i would be grateful

If your motherboard indeed "only supports durons/athlons" then the board probably does not support the 133MHz FSB the 1700+ was designed to run on. You might be able to overclock it to 133MHz, otherwise you need a new mobo to get what you paid for from this chip.
