MS-6712 MSI board processor issues

[RedBaron13]

I bought a G52-M6712X1 MSI Motherboard and an 2100 AMD XP chip. When I boot up the PC IT says I am running an AMD 1500 XP. If I go into the bios and change any of the settings to the processor the PC will not boot. Anyone know what I might need to do to get this PC running at an AMD 2100 XP speed?

Thanks in advance

Find the link or option for changing from 100MHz FSB to 133MHz FSB. The 2100+ expects 133MHz FSB and uses a 13x multiplier, but on a 100MHz FSB it'd run at 1300MHz, about the core speed of a 1500+ (actually that's 1333MHz). Some BIOSes work out the processor description from the core speed because the chips are (almost) identical.

I will give that a shot tonight. thanks!
