AMD Speed

Many AMD mobos Have settings in the bios to change the clock speed. You may have to go and set it to auto, or the correct bus speed and multiplier.

AMD Athlon XP has a DDR Bus, and uses a 266MHz bus, so the real Bus speed is 133.333MHz; if you select a 100 MHz, it's exactly 3/4 of the real bus, so the Clock Frec. you get is 3/4 of the Frecuency you expect....
( 1250 = 1666.66666 * 3/4 )
The solution is to configure a system bus of 133 MHz, you have a 100 MHz....

Hi,
You bought the system assembled or all the parts separate?IF it is an complete system then you have to check the bios settings .Clock setting = 133 multiplier =12.5 gives a score of 1666MHz
When the clock is set at 100MHz you only get your UPCworking at 1250MHz.I presume the motherboard is supporting the XP.If not you're screwed.
If you bought the motherboard yourselve check also if it supports AMD XP in other words if it supports a 133Mhz clok setting. You could also set the settings to 100*16.5( if your multiplier goes so far)
Good luck

AMD processor motherboard, has more ability to overclock which the Intel didn't. Most motherboard with AMD processor have a settings in the BIOS where you can set the CLOCK, i think you should set it in proper (if your processor is 1.4 Gz set it in the BIOS 1.4)Of if you don't know the speed of your processor set it to auto...

Here in our NEtwork gaming we Used all AMD processor and all have a integrated OVERCLOCKING CHIPS (RED STORM OVERCLOCKING)but we disable it because it shortening the life span of the system....

I suggest u get WCPUID at http://www.h-oda.com/
to check your actual cpu and bus speed.
