From 2100+ to 1500+??????

[TheDisenchanted]

2 days ago i installed a new mobo GA-7VAXP cuz my old board was causing me probs when playing games. After i had installed the new board and did a fresh install of XP my brother was playing around and realized that in the properties of "My computer" it shows us having a 1500+ XP, when in fact i have a 2100+ XP, so you can imagine my concern. I had never overclocked my cpu or anything for that matter on my old board. I was just wondering what could be causing this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. :-D
here is my system anyother info can and will be provided if needed.


2100+ XP
GA-7VAXP mobo
512mb samsung ram
MSI Geforce Ti4400
pci lan card
pci modem
420watt psu

It sounds like your board defaults to using a 100MHz bus speed, and just needs to be raised to the proper 133MHz bus speed. When starting the computer, press the Delete key and it will go into the BIOS. Once you're in there, set the CPU Host Frequency to 133MHz as shown on page 46 of your manual, and you should be up to speed. Welcome to the Forums, and post again if you have difficulties.
