This is my system specs:
AMD AthlonXP 1800+ (Palomino) running at 1152 MHz
mobo is :Biostar M7VKQ
Maxtor 30GB
running winxp
128 MB SDRAM
THe speed of my processor is shown 1533 Mhz by crystal CPUID but is running on 1152 Mhz.I cant figure out the problem. Please tell me what is the problem and how can i solve it
Its not the FSB speed, its the actual speed. The performance rating (PR) of your processor is 1800+. But its actual speed is 1152 MHz (as told by you). Since it is running at 1533 (as told by CPUID), i guess its normal. A few MHz here and there is fine. By the way, AMD underclocks itself at lower loads. So try checking at full CPU load.
sorry i think he is trying to tell is that its running on 1152 Mhz and that Crystal CPUID is telling the actual speed shoud be 1533 Mhz
Oops.. confusion! Let him post back with more details!
My FSB is set to 100 while EVEREST says dat its original FSB is to be 133MHz and is there any way to increase it instead of doing it via BIOS coz there's no frequency option in my BIOS. ALSO it is updated means i'm not using old BIOS which shud b updated 2 get da frequency option
PS:sorry in my first post i wrote the proccessor speed not FSB speed
Check out your motherboard manual. There should be some jumper settings to set the FSB. Also, double check for an updated bios!
sorry but my pc is assembled and i didnt got any manual with my mobo.
but its name is Biosatr M7VKQ.

This one i got from EVEREST.
PS: kalpik answer plz.
i'm unable to show da thumbs correctly. mods plz help me.
Hmm.. cannot say anything! Every motherboard has different jumper settings. Jumpers are two contacts which you have to short. They are explained in the manual. Cannot say anything without the manual! Im soooo sorry!
Im sorry i couldnt find the manuals of your motherboard there! If you find them, please give me a direct link, ill have a look at them.
well i found da manual on my mobo's cd. wat shud i do?
Read it and find the jumper settings for setting FSB. Look for FSB or jumper in the contents.
FSB is called sumthing else in sum proccies. do u know wat is it called?
HTT. Its called HTT in AMD processors.
