i just bought an athlon xp1600/abit kt7a to replace my aging asus k7m/athlon classic 500@750 combo. mostly i did this cause i'm home for break and i'm bored.
anyway, my computer is recognizing my processor as a xp1500, not the xp1600 i paid for. i tried changing it in the bios but windows and the bootlog still say it's a 1500. i tried running a benchmark in sisoft and it has it at 1.3 ghz, underperforming an athlon 1.33 in their archive.
i'm relatively certain from reading the chip it's a 1600. the first line reads "AX1600DMT3C". here's a pic
any ideas??
ps- i bought it from accubyte.com
