AMD 64 3200 problem

[Deviak]

Never really used AMD much mostly stuck to Intel, but i just bought a Abit motherboard and it's saying my new amd 64 3200 processor is running at 575 mhz according to windows. Any help would be appriciated.

most likly its a bios issue you need to up from 400 to 800fsb - thats very low like 200fsb?

go to bios cpu area and check the frequncy it should be 200

200x4=800fsb

Actually its not very weird because its AMD but
Restore your BIOS to default .
then find CPU bus and set it to 200 Mhz.
checkout V core also(suggest CPU-Z program)
.

Looks like you guys are right, but it isn't the fsb as i've manually changed that and nothing has changed, but when i go into "Advanced Bios features" and under "CPU Feature" i can change it to either "Auto", or 4x - 800 mhz, 5x- 1000mhz, 6x - 1200 mhz, 7x - 1400 mhz, 8x - 1600 mhz, 9x - 1800mhz, 10x - 2000 mhz.

Now normally im assuming thats how i change my speed, but no matter what i change my speed won't go any higher than 575, and if i chose like 4x or 5x, its like only 250 mhz for my processor speed under windows. I just have one more question, is there any way i can update my bios with a burned CD Or DVD since i don't actually have a 1.44 drive atm.

Cool n quiet maybe. If you put some cpu crunching app to work, do the speed raise?

Cool n Quiet will make windows think funny things. I have seen lower numbers such as 300.

Get CPU-Z and see the speed, if it is 1000mhz(or near) then you are running Cool n Quiet and it is doing its job.

If it is 2000mhz(2200mhz for new castle). You are running with no Q n C, and all is good

Athlon 64's tend to all run @ 200fsb, But they don't use FSB to communicate anyway so do not let the 200 fool you it is normal.

Updated the Bios, didn't seem to really change anything and i used cpu-z but gave me the same info that windows was giving me, still the same speed....i think ima have to call abit up and see whats going on, but thnx for all the help appriciate it.

post a pic of CPUZ PLEASE
