all right.. I have an AMD 2600+

it's suposed to be a 2.13 or something like that but registers as a 2.088 not that big a deal I guess...
but being a speed freak (duh...I am a member of PCA ) I want to get my moneys worth!!

I have a new MSI K7N2 Delta, 512 DDR 400mhz and my Radeon 8500 128
I was running 3DMark2001Se and went to browse online results, the PC feedback it gave me is why I am here...

why is it that my FSB is only 166???? should it not be more then that?? why does my CPU only configure as a 2.088???

I have tinkered in the bios before and tried OC'ing it a bit... jus tto see if I could get the 2.133 but no go... system locked up and I had to do some jumper moving to reset the thing so I could restart (thought I cooked the CPU )
anyone help me out??
and anyone have a good guide to OC'ing the 2600+??

thanks guys!

Amd made 2 2600+ t-breds. 1 with a 12.5 multiplier and 1 with a 13 multiplier.
See here
The t-bred you have is known for its non overclocking abilities. The best I have been able to get out of mine was 180 fsb@ 1.75v, but I have some really junk memory in that board. I don't think good memory would help it much though.

why is it that my FSB is only 166???? should it not be more then that?? why does my CPU only configure as a 2.088???

Its 166 x 2 = 333

ahhhhh that's a good answer thanks for the info !
