Well the first thing you need to do is update the bios since your board is outdated. Once that has been done you should be fine.

You will not see your CPU listed correctly till you update the bios. Go to the Biostar website and folow the instructions on how to flash your Bios.

If you updated your Bios and restarted your PC you should see your CPU listed correctly unless it is not supported by your motherboard.

Ok, raise your multiplier till you it shows 2.3Ghz (should be around x11) and then boot. Once back in bios make sure it shows your CPU running at 2.3Ghz, you should not have to change any other values.

No, its in your Bios, once you boot and see your mobo poster click on F2 to pull up your Bios...

....

Sounds like cool n quiet to me. Either disable cool n quiet, or run something that will actually put a decent load on your processor, you should see it clock itself back up.

2. powerenow. enable
3.ACPI SRAT TABLE. enable

"still 1.20GHz"

1. secure virtual machin mode. disable
2. powerenow. disable
3.ACPI SRAT TABLE enable

"now back to normal 2.30GHz"

now the settings is

1. secure virtual machin mode. enable
2. powerenow. disable
3.ACPI SRAT TABLE. enable

and its running at 2.30GHz but i dont know if thats ok to disable the powernow the powernow says
enable/disable the generation of ACPI, PPC, PSS, and PCT objects.
i dont know what is that mean..

Cool n quiet should be on the first page of your Bios.
