AXP 2000+ benched at 1.25 GHz???

[AlwaysWong]

Hi. I just slapped together this system right now and the first thing I did was download sisoft Sandra and wincpu. Both tell me that I'm running at 1.25 GHz, although I have an Athlon XP 2000+ on a KT333 board. I didn't diagnose anything yet, but I figured I'd ask you guys first. Shouldn't I be clocking a lot higher? Could I have done something wrong? I didn't touch the BIOS at all... just installed win2K and that's about it.

set the FSB to 133 mHz.

what EdipisReks said. go to bios and change fsb to 133

Thanks! Of course, you guys are right. Man, I sure feel dumb. Maybe I should look first next time.

Next week: overclocking

It's a very common mistake, don't feel bad. I see that same post all the time. =)

don't panic!
like everyone else has siad, it's very common as you assume straight away that a new mobo has 'plug n play' CPU support and sets it automatically.
I did the same when I got my 1800+ and PC2100 DDR...
don't feel ashamed its just 'one of those things'
