Soyo KT400 & XP2100+ Problem...

[Paunchy]

I just recently purchased a Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra (Black) motherboard and XP2100+ CPU and I'm having a slight problem. Everything works well, but WindowsXP reports the processor running at only 846MHz. Everything is noticeably slower than when I had an XP1900+ in the system.

Setup:
Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra (Black) (latest BIOS revision)
Athlon XP2100+ CPU
512MB Samsung PC2700 DDR

In the BIOS, I have the frequency set to 133MHz, and the multiplier at 13X. The BIOS and WindowsXP both identify the CPU as a 2100+, but for some reason, it only clocks at 864-866MHz. Any ideas on what's going on?

Hi I don't have the answer to your question, but could you please tell me the difference between the SOYO platium and black KT400 boards?
Thank You

how are you checking the reported speed?

www.h-oda.com
go there and download a program called wcpuid (unless you are already using that )

in there you will be able to check pretty much everything
see if there are any abnormalities and report back
