Welcome to the forum!

Is it a 911 or 811?

ok, anyway...really soundslike it just is running the fsb at the wrong speed.

The 2100 should be 133.x13=1729ish

but it sounds like it is running at 100x13=1300 which is XP1500 speed.

So its either a thing in the bios where it needs to be set to 133mhz or possibly there is a jumper on the motherboard that needs to be changed.

This has to be THE most frequently asked question in Athlon mainboard DIY attempts. You're not alone
