i'm guessing you've got the FSB set at 166 where it should be at 133 (IIRR)

it seems theres a 133 and a 166 fsb 2600xp

put the processor's numbers into this web page to find out what settings it
should have

you have to switch off and remove the heatsink to gain access to the numbers

I have the same 'problem' on a KT3 Ultra-ARU with an XP2600+
(Barton). The BIOS does not contain the correct CPU identification
string; however, the clock multiplier is correctly set automatically
(for my mobo the FSB has to be set manually to 166/333). The CPU
speed is correctly set at 1917 MHz (166.66 x 11.5). You can use a CPU
ID program (e.g WCPUID) to confirm the CPU model and speed, though
the incorrect BIOS identification string will probably still be shown.

Hi,

Im getting 1921 Mhz (Auto @ 166 Mhz), so I guess everything is fine then.
