System thinks my AMD 2400+ is a 1800+
I've recently put together a system and seems to be not recognizing the processor properly, both the BIOS and the OS (windows xp) thinks its an AMD 1800 when it's really a 2400. I certain that the processor in a 2400 because I bought it retail, it was an unopened box. Unless amd mispackaged it.
I'm using a ASUS A7N8X motherboard, with 512 mb PC2700 DDR RAM (micron original). It this possibly and BIOS problem, or does this just happen, thanks in advance.

This is a very common problem. You should set your fsb (front side bus) to run at 133/266 MHZ in your bios as apposed to 100/200 Mhz.

actually it is supposed to be set for 166. for the 2400....or actually I take that back...I think the 2400 can run at either speed. But anyway I set my 2400's here where I work at for 166. On that board...works fine.
