Ok.. here's my set up first of all:

AMD 64 3000+
MSI K8N Neo4-F
2x512MB Kingston
160GB Seagate Pata
Leadtek 6600GT
Antec Sonata II /w 450 PSU

Here's what I built all my my n00b self!

BIOS:
Whenever I restart or boot up my computer, my bios will go into this screen tell me to either press F1 to continue or press del to setup. How do I bypass this and let my CPU bootup all itself without me touching it?

CLOCKSPEED
AMD 64 3000+ is supposed to be 1.8 GHz right? But it's showing only 1Ghz in CPU-Z. My multiplier is like x5 only. CnQ is off... and I can't make the multiplier go higher than x5. So what is wrong with my CPU?

5x multi is cool and quiet im pretty sure. check that again. failing that see if you can set the multi manually to 9x

I solved the problem by updating my bios already... can anybody help me with my bios problem? I'm still kinda irritated by it. Can somebody help me?

Just finished building my computer this last weekend and it was giving me the F1 button deal you are talking about. Seems the BIOS setting had a floppy drive called out when I don't actually have a floppy. Had to go into the settings and say floppy drive=none. Now it boots through. I'm sure it's something similar. Check the error it gives right before asking to press F1.
