Is bios memory frequency setting at 100%?

[elementz_03]

nah it was on SPD or watever and i got told to change it to auto, no difference should i try 100 %?

[garnet_abx]

Your front side bus is running at 100 according to cpu-z. It should be 133. You said you had it set to 166. My guess is that there is a FSB jumper on that board that is set to 200 and needs to be set to 266. Take a look for that.

[elementz_03]

ok i put the memorey frequency to 100 % and set the fsb to 133 then 166 with no difference it still comes up as a amd athlon(tm) 1.050gig.

Did you look for the FSB jumper?

[sammy2066]

methinks it's a chip swap .....

[elementz_03]

i cant find it, i can only find a CLK_SW switch which is off...still looking in manual and on bored

[elementz_03]

theres another HCLK+/- showing in the manual with 100/133/166/200mhz next to it hmm

[elementz_03]

lol, i think i got it this switch off

OFF: FORCE 100mhz (supports the 200mhz FSB CPU_
ON:Auti (133/166/200mhz, supports 266/333/400mhz, FSB cpu,default)

Nothing he is doing in the bios is actually changing anything for real. It's stuck on 100 FSB. All nForce boards I've used have a FSB jumper. If that jumper is set to 100 FSB, then changing FSB settings in the bios with be useless.

There you go.

Unplug from the wall, just to be safe.

[elementz_03]

ok i got it, check the pics..still comes up as a amd athlon mp tho doesnt reallly bother me. Would it make a difference which slots i put the ram in? cause i got 2 red slots and in the middle a purple, i've got the ram sticks on both red slots atm.

How cpu-z recognizes it really means nothing. To make use of the dual channel memory feature (if your mobo supports it and I think it does) the memory should be in slot 1 & 3 or 2 & 3. I expect that means one red and one purple. That will provide better memory performance.
