AMD 3200+ Issue

I have a AMD 3200+ cpu and a Asus an78x-e mobo. Both are new. When I installed the cpu the default settings came up as 166x14 instead of the normal 200x11. It boots fine with the 166x14 but is a little unstable. It wont boot under any other settings - including 200x11

I have 2x512mb Corsair 3200 memory Cas2 if that helps.

Any ideas.

Wu, it doesn't sound overclocked, 2333 is stock for a few 3200+ processors.

The 2333MHz 3200+ I saw on the list ran at 166x14 (aka AMD's 333MHz CPU bus, double data rate). It was produced specifically for Hewlett Packard according to that sight. The reason it's clocked faster than the "normal" 200x11 3200+ is because the slower bus speed provides less performance, so they make up for that handicap with a higher CPU clock.
