New xp1600+ only running at 1050mhz in new system

Why? Just got the processor in today along with the motherboard, an ECS K7VTA3, which supposedly supports XP processors. BIOS says FSB is running at 100, which I suspect is the problem, but it wont let me change that. I can't find a physical jumper for this, so anyone have an idea?
 
manual says:

this items displays the frontside bus frequency. this is a display only item. You cannot make changes to this field.

I cant find a jumper for it and Im not sure about BIOS updates but it says on the box is XP compatible so why would it do this?
 
I'm currently using a piece of crap KT133 board (brand unknown) with SDRAM. I have an Athlon 1200 in it, but it will only run at 100MHz bus leaving me with a 900MHz CPU. I suspected that was your problem as well. I'll be replacing this board with a Giga-Byte one in the near future (see my poll and thread on it). Glad you figured it out!
