So I installed my computer and right at the first boot there are a few issues:

The nusthell of the bios reads like this:

k7s5a Pro Release 1/21/2003
Processor 1150MHZ (Isn't a 1800xp suppose to be 1600mhz)
2621440kb (I believe this is correct because I installed 1 kbyte 256 PC2700)

CMOS Battery Low
Cmos Memory size wrong

f1 to run setup
f2 to load default values and continue

------
These are the problems I see. I am not planning to OC, Please offer your advice thanks.

Do the F1 thing to enter the bios for setup.

The default speed for the fsb is 100, your processor wants it set to 133 to run at 1600.

For other settings, RTFM.

read the manual too hard 4 ya?

when a new cpu is put in, it always asks for settings. set everything and save and your fine.

i forget the mhz of the 1800+ even though i have one.. sad isn't it. i know the 2000+ is 1666mhz off the top of my head though.
