under 'View System Information' in the nVidia Control Panel, why does it show my:
Reference clock (FSB) -1.#IO Mhz
FSB Frequency: -1.#IO (DDR) Mhz
CPU multiplier: 5.0x
CPU core frequency -1.#IO Mhz
Memory bus frequenc y -1.#IO (DDR) Mhz

does anyone have any ideas?
thanx for any thoughts

My computer is:
AMD: Athlon 64 X2 5200+ OCed @ 2899 MHz (223 x 13)
Mobo: Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 v.2
RAM: 4GB Mushkin DDR2 PC2-6400
OS: Vista 64bit
VC: EVGA 8800 GTS 320MB

control panel only shows RAM and CPU speed not multis and FSB or anything... that would confuse most people.

CPU_z displays my information correctly
so i guess its not a huge deal, its just kind of strange that the info is all messed up.

I don't know how to display images in these forums

its because your mobo is not a nvidia chipset mobo i.e. 780i,790i. you have a gigabyte mobo like me and it showed the same thing, mine actually thinks my cpu is running at 9.4GHz lol. 9.4GHz with a e8400 haha. but yes its due to the fact your not using a mobo with nvidia chipset therefore it cant read the cpu and cpu info correctly.
 
To display images you must first upload it to a photo hosting site like Photobucket then paste the Direct Link URL into your post and put (bracket)img(bracket) before it and (bracket)/img(bracket) after it. Alternately, you can push the button that looks like a mountain with a sun above it and post the link into the pop up box.

As long as the BIOS and CPU-Z are in agreement, I would not worry to much about it.
You can try updating to the latest GPU and Motherboard drivers and see if this helps any.

well thats a pretty old chipset, i know that in my main gaming pc i have a EVGA nForce 780i SLI and it shows correctly. your chipset maybe to old but i really dont know. you could try to reinstall it.
