My kt4-ultra thinks my 2200+cpu is a 1500+ i need counciling

[confusedus]

I just need some help. I just put together a msi kt4-ultra-fisr, using a amd axda 2200+ cpu , corsair ddr400 xms 3200 2.5cas 512mb,geforce 2mx video card,western digital 120gb special edition hd, u.s. robotics modem,420w power supply, 3 case fans,2 ps fans, chipset fan,cpu heat sink & fan, unit. It runs great,in fact i'm using it now,but,for some reason it only recognizes my cpu as a 1500+ clocking at 1350mhz. When i try to get it to run any faster, it locks up. I don't want to over clock it, but i would like to see it run like the 2200+ {1.8} i bought. I have tried another 2200+ cpu having the same result happen. Does anybody have a suggestion?

some quick math says that your fsb is at 100mhz with a 13.5 multiplier. in the bios, change your fsb to 133 and it should be ok.

I truely did the math but, when i change the fsb or ratio even alittle it freezes up.

Try dropping the CAS in the BIOS from 2.5 to 3(if possible) or just replace that stick of ram; it could very well be that the ram is not quite up to spec.

F.Y.I.
I finnally solved my problem ....................... still feeling alittle stupid.......o.k. alot
stupid. The ram & cas was fine but thanks for the input. On this bios, i had to set the fsb speed
that i wanted and leave ratio setting on auto..........i really thought i needed to adjust the ratio
myself,when adjusting the fsb...............BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Thanks again for all the input.
