processor speed bump

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I PURCHASED NEW 2700 RAM TO GET MY ATHLON 2000+ SPEED UP
TO 1660 - I GOT ASUS TO HELP THE BOARD RECOGNIZE IT BUT
WHEN I BOOT INTO WINDOWS -IN THE BOOT SCREEN THE GREEN
BULLET FREEZES AND DOES THAT EVERY TIME I TRY - ASUS GUY
SAID "LOOKS LIKE A WINDOW PROBLEM -BYE". ANYONE KNOW THE
TRICK TO GETTING XP TO ACCEPT NEW RAM AND PROCESSOR SPEED?

The OS could care less what speed the speed of your machine is at. You have
