I have upgraded all my computer components and i now have the setup as below (sig) but i can not run my cpu at its true speed. Anything above gives me a warning message about some dram settings have to be set higher than 333. Anyone help??
 
Do you have a Tbred (266) or a Barton (333)? If you just bought a "XP2600" odds are they sold you a TBred. :) To check grab something like CPUz (http://www.cpuid.com) and check under the codename box
 
OS:MS Windows XP pro (Version 5.1)
APGx8:Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128 DDR
CPU:on(TM) XP 2600+ Barton (1.67)
RAM:512MB DDR Ram
HD:Maxtor 80gig 7000

Sorry my sig didnt save. ;)

I used SiSoftware Sandra to find out that i have the barton version.

What's your multiplier and clock speed? The multiplier should be 11.5x or something like that and the clock speed 166Mhz for a net speed of 1.9Ghz ... so which one is off? :)
 
while your talkin about the thourobred/barton thing, does it really make much of a difference? i want to get a xp2200 (1.8MHz) thorobred but will it make a dramatic change if i get barton?
thnx for any hekp,
smadge
 
Its major difference from the Thoroughbred core is in the increased L2 cache size by a factor of 2 (from 256K to 512K).

You're lucky: the XP2200 only came as a Throughbred. So you wont have to decide between TBred, Palo or Barton. Bartons kicked in at XP2500
