Hi everyone, a friend of mine says he has a amd athlon xp but he dosnt know what number / speed it is, I read somewhere that you have to set the speed manually in the bios because it dosnt have the bus speed detection pins. Actually heres what I read.
"Q. I just installed an XP1600+ and it shows up as an Athlon 1050MHz (or similar mismatched speed).
A. AMD processors do not have bus speed detection pins as Intel processors do, you must manually change your bus speed to 133MHz in BIOS or by jumper, see your motherboard manual for more information."
Now is there a way he can run a program or some benchmark thatll read what speed / type the processor really is? Anyway to find out??
