Actual CPU Speed Not Detected!

[Craig56]

my p3 800mhz cpu is shown at 600mhz at startup....its a 133fsb but i have my jumpers set to 800 and my fsb jumper set to 100mhz since i have pc100 ram. would this cause it? by the way i flashed my bios to the lasted update

The multiplyer is set at 6 so

100x6=600
133x6=800

buy some 133 and run it at 133
or overclock the memory to 133
if its not complete crap memory, itll prob work

I believe some chipsets can run PC100 memory even with a 133 bus.
You might want to check your manual and see what options you have on memory timings in your bios.
Another trick is to increase the voltage on the memory, that usually allows it to clock much higher.

thanks guys i really appreciate the help, i changed it to 133mhz fsb and the ram cache latency time or somethin i changed from 2 to 3 because it would say windows protection error please restart your computer when it was on 2. im up and running on this computer as we speak at 798mhz. thank you all!
