I had two AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz processors in differnet systems in the past. I know one had a 200 FSB and the other had a 266 FSB. I don't recall which is which. Please see the linked photo. Can someone tell me which one this is?

Athlon 1.2 GHz Zoom

Thanks!

Look Here

Codes from your chip:
AXIA = Processor Core
1200 = Speed in Mhz
A = Package Type
M = Operating Voltage of 1.75v
S = Maximum Die Temp. of 95C
3 = 256k L2 cache
C = 266 System-bus speed

they never made a 1.15GHz/B athlon :confused:
Maybe this Athlon is OCing by changing multiplier to 11.5x.

I dont believe its OCed but the multiplier is set at 11.5

Oh, you better check with Cpu-z.

If at Cpu-z your Processor Code Name is "Palomino" or " Thoroughbred", then you surely underclocking your Athlon XP 1800+ to Ahtlon 1150. :(
Athlon XP 1800+ also come with SSE Instructions.

If you have above case, then check whether your mainboard & memory support FSB 133MHz. If you can turn your FSB from 100MHz back to 133MHz then you will get a big improvement in your overall system performance (just imagine from 1150 to 1800+)! :)

I have tried this but the system fails to boot, sucks

Oh, that's bad. :(

Try to figure out the solution. If you do, it really help a lot.
Wish you luck. :)
