I just rescently purchased a XP1900. After i installed it i tested its speed on a OLD Processor tester and it says 1100 mhz is 1100 mhz normal for a XP-1900 and do u know where i can get a new tester that may be accurate?
No if it was an XP1700 then that might be the case as that uses a 11 multiplier (I know this because I now own one). The 1900 would use a higher multiplier then that, I suspect it might be the bios, see if you've got any settings you can tweak in the bios to up the multiplier or bus speed (or maybe jumbers on the mobo), otherwise if it's a fairly old board it could be that the bios can't support or incorrectly displays the speed of cpus that fast.
Your nice new PC might be faster then my 286, but my 286 makes a better door stop
AMD Man was suggesting that it was running at 100mhz bus. well 100 x 11 = 1100 so where does the 1050 you mentioned come into it?
Also my xp1700 runs at 1100 when I'm using the 100mhz so if his is a xp1900 then his should be running faster then that, not lower as you seem to be suggesting.

I have a similar issue. My pc is AMD 1900+ on K7S5A mobo with most recent bios. It has consistently reported the chip correctly during bootup until today. This morning I booted and my pc repored 1100 athlon. When I checked in bios the fsb was now at 100/100. However when I set the fsb back to 133/133 the sytem now reports my chip as AMD 1700. I have also now ran WCPUID and it reports the chip as 1700+!!!! How can this possibly be? I know for a fact the cpu was showing for a month as 1900+. the chip also physically says 1900 on it. I would think the only thing that could cause this is an actual change in the clock multiplier but being hardware locked how can that be?
