Hi,

From Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

I've bought a:

"Athlon XP 2200+ Processor

2000 MHz (rated), 1667 MHz (real)
266 MHz bus speed
Staggered organic PGA (Socket A/Socket 462)"



And at the boot up it reads:

Athlon XP 1500+

CPU real clock 1300 MHz (100x13.0) FSB 200

Are these alterable?

I bought the CPU & the motherboard together.

In the BIOS Frequency/Voltage control there is:
CPU Clock: 100
CPU Ratio: Auto


Have I been tricked or can these data change somehow?

Ofreeb

Are the readings in "My Computer" the same as the BIOS?

Your motherboard just auto-detected the CPU. My old 2400+ CPU was recognized as an 1800+ by the BIOS before I configured it.

What you need to do is go into the BIOS and adjust the FSB and multi appropriately. If you want stock 2.0GHz it's be 133MHz FSB and a 15X multi. This also effects your RAM if it's running in 1:1, so make sure it's capable of running ! 133MHz.
