xp processor

[kev59]

I have just bought a 2.6 xp processor in a msi kt4v motherboard and i have set the cpu fsb to 133 is this correct as it is only showing the cpu in the start up screen as a 2.0 .sorry only a beginner

If it is an amd xp2600 that you got then that's about right.......I think. 2.0 ghz.

2400 is 2 GHz
2133 MHz would be my guess.

2133mhz is the 2600 on a 133/266 fsb, just been reading a review here. http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews/review.php?dXJsX3Jldmlld19JRD00MDUmdXJsX3BhZ2U9Mg==

if it is the amd xp 2600 with a barton core then it is 333 fsb but amd work in the way that there name is a rating of come kind not the GHZ rating

Goodie. I just assumed the CPU-speed increased by 66 MHz / 100+ increment. ;>

As far as I know, the 2500xp is the last to use a 266 fsb, therefore the 2600xp would have to be set at 166mhz to be a 333 fsb. That will most likely have it running at its proper speed.
