Hello,
I've recently upgraded my Athlon XP system to a faster processor. I was using an XP 1700, now I've upgraded to an XP 2100. I'm using an Abit KG7-RAID board. When I boot, the bios will not detect the CPU as a XP2100, instead it gives the Mghz(1.73). It used to indicate the cpu as XP1700, but it won't do that for my XP2100. Also, Windows XP will not indicate the cpu brand either, it too gives just the Mghz and says, "unknown cpu type". I've changed various settings in the bios and I've upgraded it as per Abit, to no avail. The system seems to be running correctly, I'm just baffled as to why it's doing this.
Thanks for any input,
John
