win xp and e4500 multi

[kentsfield]

Hi!

Im running my e4500 at 266x10 (2660mhz) for now. Xp under control panel/system, states E4500@2.20ghz-2930mhz. Its only seeing defult multi, why not x10 and correct speed 2660mhz?

Is this normal?

use cpuz to be sure...

 

[kentsfield]

I allways use cpu-z. It`s showing the correct speed. I was just curious why xp is not able to do it and if you guys have the same thing.

Yeah, XP's CPU speed rating is wrong if you're not using the default multi.

Yup, I lowered my multi to 8 and fsb to 400 and Vista and XP read it as 3.6, no major worries as long as CPU-Z reads it correctly.
