Processor Speed Problem

[rvslp27]

I have a Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ processor. In my BIOS I put the speed for 2.4 GHZ, but under My Computer Properties, it says thats its running at 1.8 GHZ. I have an Asus P4S533 motherboard. Suggestions on what the problem might be is appreciated. Thank You

Maybe you're running at 100FSB ("400"Mhz in Intel-speak) instead of 133FSB ("533"Mhz)?

Definatly running @ 100mhz bus...

2400/133 =~ 18

that means your CPUs multiplier is 18x and you should be running 133x18 = 2400 but instead you are running at 100x18 = 1800. Look around in BIOS more, you should be able to turn the bus speed up.
