hi guys
my first post here.
well i just bought an athlon xp 2600+. all original with the box and all.
the problem is that when i run my computer the post screen shows that it is an athlon xp 2000+ . i also tested with various softwares but all showed that it was a 2000+ with 1.53 GHz speed.
confused i rang up that customer support from the dealer i got it. he adviced that the cpu fsb speed is set to 133 so change it to 166 through the bios.
well isn't this overclocking? i don't want to get a misplaced cpu and also ruin any chances of warranty support by over clocking it. anyway i don't think that the cpu model no depends on the fsb.
please help so i can have a proper understanding of the situation and not be looted.
my motherboard is MSI KM 400 using VIA chipset. KM4M-V
