Sandra not reading correctly??

[H4rm]

I have an Abit KT7-Raid motherboard, 1 ghz Socket A T-bird, PC150mhz Mushkin HSDRAM, and Sparkle 300 w Pwr supply. After having run Sandra Pro on win98 and Win Millenium, my FSB reads 100 mhz? It should read 133 or 150 mhz right? I do have Host+PCIclk enabled in the Bios. Why wont Sandra read this correctly, and how do i fix this or is there another software that will give me good readings on my ram speed or FSB speed?

Why would it read 133Mhz and 150Mhz?

If you haven't changed your FSB in the Bios (or dipswitch, whatever it takes) then of course it will only be 100. 133 is a bit high and most people can't get over 110 or 115 or something to that extent.

And your memory could be PC10000 but if you're only running it at the Host Clock, which is only 100mhz, it will only be 100mhz.

Most socket A boards start at 100mhz for the bus which you can up in increments, and the memory can be set equal to the FSB or +33mhz.

your memory can do 150mhz, your processor isn't, you'd be famous if it did!
