Hello,

I'd need help please : I'd a probleme with my motherboard, so I pulled
my small battery (i'm a layman, i don't actually know the right word) of
my motherboard, put it inside again, changed my power supply (I was
adviced to do so) and since, my computer works again, but the frenquence
written in "system" in windows in only 1,24 GHz whereas I've an Athlon
2600+.
What should I do ?
Thank you for your help

Pascal

Go into the BIOS and change the FSB to whatever your Athlon requires
(probably 166 Mhz, sometimes shown as 333). Doubtless the BIOS has
defaulted to lowest common denominator of 100Mhz (sometimes shown as
200).
