How do I fix this whats going on? I'm runnign at 2304Mhz but it's saying I'm at XP 2800?
 
I wouldnt worry about it, If it is at 2300Mhz then what difference does it make?
 
bragging rights to say hey 3200. Or the fact somethings not right with my system.
 
Update your Bios and it should show you the change, and hey maybe he wants to show his friends that he is a big spender and tell them he has a 3200xp lol
 
Hrm my Bios have the newest release if I put them in again would that be okay? updating Bios makes me parranoid

whats reporting that, BIOS or WCPUID? if its just the BIOS and wcpuid shows it OK, fudge it, youre set.
 
When i overclocked my 2500+ to over 2300mhz instead of 3200+ it said 2300mhz+. My suggestion is that you try turning it down to 2200 mhz where the 3200 runs at stock (11*200). But that would defeat the purpose of the overclocking to 2300 anyway.

Also who's going to be seeing your computer anyway? Its just numbers on the screen. Anyone who knows anything would rather see 2300mhz I would think. Just me though
 
would it make a difference that I'm running it at 12.5 x 184 or be because my fsb is at 184 and not 190+?
 
a 3200+ doesnt run at 2300 mhz to answer your first question

a 1700+ doesnt have the same amount of cache as a barton to answer the latest question

a odd combo of FSB and multiplier to achieve 2200 mhz will most likely not result in it saying 3200+ to answer the speculated question

just lie to your friends and say you have 2.4ghz.
 
if your using 12.5 multi it will say 2800+ if you go a lil past 2300 mhz it will show the actual mhz instead of a pr speed

I know it's 2.2 but I'de firgure I would see 3200 instead of 2800. also I went back to 2200 last night and it said 2700?
 
Do some experimenting. You will find that the multiplier is read to get the realitive processor speed. Ex: multi of 11 will read either as a 2500 or 3200. A multi of 10.5 will read as a 3000. 12.5, a 2800, and so on. It all depends on the multiplier that you have selected.

cause its not a barton, the extra cache on a barton adds about 300+ points

doesn't it also depend on if the mobo officially supports 400mhz fsb?

Probably not. Any Nforce2 A1 revision chipset will have no problems running 200, and any other nforce2 can be forced to run there with enough effort.

Voltage and cooling should make a00 revisions do the trick.
 
What kind of m/b do you have? If it's an newer Abit you can flash the Bios online with the push of 1 applet button.:D Almost impossible to 'F' up!
 
Makr sure your computer is set to factory defaults before flashing!! If not you could be fubbared.
 
Like was already said it's going by the multiplier. It would be dumb to worry about it, end of story. When my CPU is 2.3GHZ as well @ 219*10.5 and it reads as a 3000+. 11*200 would be weaker in every way but my bios would say 3200+. He has not gotten close enough to 200 bus and 12.5*166.66 is the 2800+ barton.
 
I can officially tesify that it the cache is not what determines the number. 3/4 of the cache on my 2400+ got fried, it just said "Unknown CPU Type 2400+", until I got a BIOS update and now it says "Duron 2400+"
 
my cousins Idq 200N recognizes hsi 2500+ running at 11 x 200 as a 3200+ @ 2.19.....When he runs 3dmark it says AMD Duron :rolleyes: So might be an Idq thing or something
 
COuld be since I underclocked back to 2214 and it says I have a XP2700. I don't get it another funny thing is it doesn't have 176 to choose from in the multipliers.

that might be a teensy bit high for a multiplier, anyway
