How can I read the real/maximum speed of a processor ?

Hi,

From Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN:IT&rd=1

I've bought a:

"Athlon XP 2200+ Processor

2000 MHz (rated), 1667 MHz (real)
266 MHz bus speed
Staggered organic PGA (Socket A/Socket 462)"



And at the boot up it reads:

Athlon XP 1500+

CPU real clock 1300 MHz (100x13.0) FSB 200

Are these alterable?

I bought the CPU & the motherboard together.


In the BIOS Frequency/Voltage control there is:
CPU Clock: 100
CPU Ratio: Auto


Have I been tricked or can these data change somehow?

Its posible that the speed of the processor needs to be changed, but the processor would still be identified as an XP 2200+. I think you got ripped :o
 
Ya'll are crazy, he didn't get jipped.

The BIOS auto detected the CPU at it's minimum operating frequency, that's totally normal. My old 2400+ is read as an 1800+ until you configure the FSB and multi in the BIOS.

Adjust the FSB to 133MHz with a 15X multi, and make sure your voltage is stock default. It should be 2.0GHz then.

Isn't the 2200 rated at 1.8 ghz?

hehe, yes. i must have missed that.

the 2100+ is 1733MHz. when they made the 2200+ T-Bred, they upped it 66MHz to a default clock speed of 1800MHz.

You'd need a 2400+ T-Bred to get 2.0GHz stock.
