Wrong Speed indicated for processor

[Raul99]

Just finished building Soltek Sl-75DRV2 mb with retail AMD athlon XP+ 1800 processor, intial screen on Award bios v6.0 indicates" AMD Athlon 1150 MHtz" . I checked speed on chip and it is marked as 1800. Speed should be > 1500 Mhtz. Any suggestions?

Change your Front Side buss my friend, this happened to me also

go in your BIOS and try changing your FSB to 133

The Mobo HAS to default to 100 MHz FSB - what if you put a Duron or so into the board - it may not boot up!
