Question regarding Giga-byte's 7VRXP mainboard

There is this cool little thing on the GA-7VRXP board that allows me to change up the system bus frequency. I'm kinda a noob when it comes to these newer motherboards, but should I be setting this frequency at 100 or 133? If it helps, my CPU is a XP2200+ 1.8 GHz.

Also, when I was first messing around with the installation of everything, I remember that the BIOS didn't recognize the correct CPU speed. I think it had said my chip was a 1800+. On this board, there is a switch that lets me adjust, specifically, the CLK_RATIO. Default is AUTO, and that is what I have left it as. But I can manually change these settings up by moving a few of the switches either to the on or off position. The CLK_RATIO goes all the way from 5x to 12.5x, in increments of .5. Perhaps this has something to do with the incorrect post speed of my CPU?

It should be at 133, the clk ratio shouldn't be adjusted unless you have "unlocked" your CPU, if you adjust them it will not post. As to not recognizing the 2200+ I am not sure, you may need to update your bios to the latest version.

PM me if you have any questions,
