i brought a XP2600 cpu for my motherboard which is a msi 6380e also my bios
version 5.70, more details can be obtained about my board in the following
link

the board clearly supports the thoroughbred xp2600 cpu, but when it loads up
it shows as a xp2000 in the post screen.. how do i resolve this issue, i
have also tried to increase the bus speed but that has had no effect.

and I have a feeling you have the 333 mhz...if you read that chart..it shows

board supports one of the 3
