Quick question about my new CPU.

[CapnKiII]

I put together this computer yesterday, and I ordered an EPOX 8k3a mobo w/ a CPU AMD|1700+266 ATHLON 1.47G XP .

On bootup and in system info (winxp) it tells me that I have a 1100 CPU, I'm assuming 1.1 G.
Did I recieve the wrong CPU or is there some sort of config that I need to do to the MOBO?

You purchased an AMD Athlon xp 1700+, right? That is the 1.47gig model

You've got it set to 100MHz FSB rather than 133MHz. 100x11 = 1100, 133x11 = 1463 (rough real speed of your 1700+). Look in your BIOS under CPU Setup or similiar and change it.

read your MB manual and find what you need to do to get 133 FSB.
