my barton 2500 is posting at 1100 mhz

[milldakill]

I am kind of a noob at this computer stuff but i went for it and built a system, i have the FSB set to 166 and i have the ratio set to normal in the bios. I have a gigabyte 7N400 Pro Mobo. I think it is suppose to post at 1800 mhz or there abouts

set your front side bus to 166 instead of 100

 

[milldakill]

i did set it to 166

 

[Jeff7181]

It's not at 166 if you're posting at 1100... 100 x 11 = 1100 Mhz... 166 x 11 = 1826 ~ 1833 as listed by AMD.

For some reason when i change the FSB on the MOBO it has no effect, i dont know if it has something to do with the dual bios option or what but please try o help me

maybe a bad bios battery? what mobo?

 

[milldakill]

the battery is fine, it saves all the other swettings and when i go into the bios it still says the right FSB, 166, but it is not really changing it, it is using a 100 FSB

Is there a jumper on the motherboard itself that controls the FSB??? I am not familiar with that board, but if there is it would br in the manuel.

problem fixed!!!!, there was a little blue switch by the north bridge that was not in the right posistion. thanks for all ur sugestions
