k the comp is listed in my sig and i set it up it is saying that its only running at a 200MHz FSB and i thought it was going to run at 400 what is holding me back? also with my motherboard i tried to run the ram in dual channel and when i do the bios wont boot.
 
nothing is holding you back. your computer is just fine, 200 is right where it should be. someone has misinformed you.
 
OH god.

Oh DEAR GOD.

That "9600SE" is a typo, right?

Please tell me it's a typo.

Please tell me it's some horrible nightmare, and that you didn't actually castrate that system with a 9600SE.

AMD's are double pumped so a 200mhz bus turns into a 400mhz bus. An Intel is quad pumped so its 200x4 or 800mhz. So you are right where you should be.
As for the mobo if I remember right you have to update the mobo bios to make dual channel work for the 90nm cpu's.

M4H it does seem strange to me too that he has a great system and has a 9600SE in there. Maybe he does not game and does not need a high end card.

pffff....:roll: you dont know anything M4H

the 9600SuperEdition ROCKS!

 
Seeeee.....there's always a logical explanation! He's simply using it as a 'placeholder' for now 😉

Don't waste your time saving for the 9800pro, save for the 6600GT AGP instead. It's a much faster card for you rig.
