I have a P4C 3.0GHZ chip, which I have set to run witha front end bus of 228 thus running at 3.42GHZ, this is completely stable and have tested everything I could throw againist it with out issue, (note my memory is set to cas2-2-2-5 and is force to 333 so it is really running 380MHZ), well here is teh problem in BIOS the CPU is set to 3.42GHZ or 3.0GHZ in windows it is running at 1.72GHZ or 1.5GHZ, strage yes. I ran sandra and it also says that the CPu is a 1.72GHZ chip and performs much like a 2.0GHZ P4. What is intresting is that sandra show the frontend bus as being 115MHZx4 instead of 230MHZx4 which is what it is suppose to be, I'm most upset with windows currently, as it seems to be windows related. I have included the data from sandra when running at 3.42GHZ for both the CPU and MEM tests. I'm hoping someone has a solution as I really do not want to have to reinstall windows. has anyone ever seen this behavor before?
