Hi

I use a P4 2.5 Gig cpu
2 x 256 memory PC400
ECS Motherboard model L4VXA2
BIOS - Phoneix AWARD Bios v6.00PG

When I get into the BIOS it shows,
"Current FSB = 100MHz"
I thought that its low ???

It doesn't allow me to change this no either?

There in another location in the BIOS it has CPU clock as 100 ?

Could someone advice me?

Thanks

The P4 quad pumps the data bus so the data rate is 4 times the clock
frequency. So a 100MHz clock is a 400Mhz Bus.
