My MB is a MSI K9MM-V utilizing a VIA K8M800 and VT8237R chipset(s) with a Phoenix BIOS dated 03/07/2008 with the AMD 64 X2 +4800 65nm Brisbane, Family "F", Model "B", Stepping "2". I have 2gigs of SuperTalent PC2-6400 ram (2 x 1gig chips). My video card is a GeForce 7300 GT with 256 ram. I have a Seagate 120gig HD ATA running at 7200 rpm and 2megs of buffer. I'm running Windows XP SP2 with all the latest patches and downloads. My only real gaming includes Crysis and Crysis Warhead with most settings to minimum so as the playability is adequate. So the issues....
1) prior to updating the BIOS (yesterday) CPUID said my CPU was running at 2400mhz and my Hypertransport was clocked at 800 mhz. After updating the BIOS CPUID says my CPU is now running at 2500 mhz (claimed stock speed) and the HT is still at 800 mhz, but it supposed to run at 1000mhz, not that I think this would impact my use much, but still....
2)I have the standby enabled so that if after twenty minutes nothing is going on with the comp it goes to sleep. Since installing the new BIOS when the comp comes out of standby the CPU speed has reset to 1000mhz....why?
3)My previous CPU, MB were AMD XP 2000+ (1677mhz actual), 1gig of Ram, an ASUS MB using an NVida chipset (can't remember model, but a very early one) and when I would convert a CD to mp3 using iTunes, I could listen to the song as it was being converted, now with this more powerful rig I can only convert the CD to mp3, if I try to listen concurrently the music becomes garbled.
So, any thoughts, ideas, fixes would be welcomed.
