XP2700 now recognized as an XP1500

[brandon06bash]

i built a new computer a little while back and got a good deal on an athlon xp2700. everything was working great, but i just recognized that the computer now recognizes the processor as an athlon xp1500. I am positive it was listed as a 2700 when i built it. I have no idea what is wrong. If anyone can tell me why that is or can advise me as to what to try to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

P.S. restarting didnt work either, if that was a possibility

probably fsb from 166 (normal) to 133 or 100. check bios or jumpers

BIOS settings. when you reset your BIOS, it's probably defaulting to fail-safe settings.

gatta agree on this one it is probally your bios setting just did this one my self my xp2400 was being shown as a xp1800 cuz the FSb was at 200 not 133 I am suprized it even worked at all...

Check the BIOS. Most motherboards also have jumpers to overide BIOS settings, so if you can set by hardware the FSB, the better.

thanks guys..... the bios setting was just turned down to fail safe settings, just like you guys said, i turned them back up and its running great. Thanks again!!
