Why does the 3000+ Barton show up as XP2700+

[GroundedSailor]

Building a computer for my nephew. specs below.

I changed the FSB to 166 (after booting it up at the default 100 & wondering why it was showing up as XP1500+!!) but left the ratio to 'Auto' in the Bios.

Am I missing something? Should I change the multiplier to 13? The computer will not be overclocked till he grows up & figures it out for himself & at this stage stability is more important.


Any help appreciated.

Thanks
