i have an Intel D865gbf board, a p4 2.66 ghz processor & 256MB ddr266 ram. earlier i had an asrock P4i45GL board. the problem is, ever since i've changed my board, the CPU speed has been locked at 2Ghz. In windows system properties, it shows the processor speed as 2.66GHz in the procesor name and right below it, the running speed as 2.00GHz. In the intel system info options on the board CD, FSB is 533 MHz while CPU speed in 2.00B Ghz. ditto for BIOS. and when i ran BIOS in configure mode(by changing the jumper settings on the board), under the maintenance options, the speed selection ratio was locked at 15(it was 20 in the previous board, adjustable of course)
when i ran the intel processor frequency ID utility, the FSB freq was reported to be 531 mhz and a note said that the processor was not a stock production processor. this PC was originally a Zenith model before i changed my mobo. now, since intel boards lock the cpus at their rated frequency, what i would like to know is,
i) was i duped into believing that this processor is a 2.66 GHz CPU while actually it was a 2 GHz one? And if so, has any 533 mhz fsb 2 ghz p4 ever been produced? i checked the intel website, 2.26ghz was the lowest speed for 533m fsb that i saw.
ii) or is it that there is some genuine problem with the board or the processor, or the combination of these two? if yes, how can it be fixed?
plz help...
