system tweaking

[CraigK]

Just got the new comp up and running, I'm installing drivers and i noticed this. my athlon 2500+ barton is running slower than my athlon 2000 TB!!! how do I fix this. I don't even have the problem other people have with the barton processor saying "prossusor." I don't wanna OC my processor but i would think it would run faster out of the box than my other processor. If I have to update my BIOS I'm going to need help doing that.

My board is an Asus A7N8X
CPU is an AMD Athlon 2500/333 Barton
2 x Crucial 512 pc2700

Eh, how do you know it runs slower?

lol..thats was going to be my question...if its running at speeds of a 2000 tb wich is 1600mhz then you have either the fsb or multiplier set wrong check them out and see what they are

i wanted to post a pic of the system specs but i don't know how to make a pic file smaller. but, anyway on the system i'm using now, the system specs says it's runnning at 1.66, but on the new system, with the 2500 barton, the specs say 1.09! whatdo i change the fsb or multiplier to and how do i change them.

Either in bios or by jumpers on the mobo.

FSB should be (right?) 166MHz on that barton, if it's running at 1.1GHz it might be set for 100MHz x 11.
