that's a bit of an odd one coz the 1800 and 2400 both have a 133 (266 ddr) fsb.new asus boards don't have jumpers for fsb do they, so i suppose it could be set to 100fsb on the bios and that is why it is showing up as lower than it is.i don't know how knowledgeable you are so i hope i am not being patronising but check that the fsb is set to 133 on the bios.i once put on an xp2000 and forgot to change the jumper at first so it showed up as an athlon 1250 (which doesn't even exist).If the bios is set to 133 and there isn't a jumper then i can only assume that it actually IS an xp1800.

i don't know about the a7n8x but my a7v333 most def has jumpers for the clock speed. and that mobo should support the 2400+ no problem as far as i know. if the same is true for your mobo as with mine, the jumper settings don't take effect until you put it into jumper mode (not the defualt). The bios should be able to detect which proc it is and set it accordingling.

A XP24000+ runs at 1.93G. That would be 133FSB X 14.5 multiplier.
If the FSB is set to 100, then the CPU would be clocked at 14.5G
(100FSB X 14.5 Multiplier). I would think that it would see this
CPU as an XP1700+, but not sure of the rules used in the bios for
determine the AMD naming convention.

Check your actually speed of the CPU. It should be posted when booting
(use the pause button on your keyboard if the screen goes by too fast).
If the speed is 1.93G, then you are ok. Just a naming mismatch and a new
bios fix would probably fix it. Otherwise, I would check you FSB and make
sure it is set to 133.

Athlon XP 2400+ runs at 2000MHz/266MHz FSB DDR (133x15).
Your FSB is clocked at 100MHz (100 x 15 = 1500MHz or Athlon XP 1800+ speed...).

<font color=red>You need to change the FSB speed to 133MHz in the BIOS menu.

Change the front side buss speed to 133.

Hang in there. It can only get better!

Another case where a bit more RTFM is needed.
In the manual it will say 100FSB (default setting) for durons , 133 for athlons & XP's.

Perhaps the nForce 2 needs 166MHZ FSB multiplied CPUs?

I just checked out calculations, interesting: 1933/166=11.5. Coincidently 11.5*133=~1533.
I do beleive his FSB and the nForce 2 chipset has some trouble recognizing and setting the proper multiplier.

Try this:

1) Turn on your computer.
2) When the computer start to test the memory and show the speed of the processor you press DEL key.
3) This is the BIOS. Now you press the arrow once (-> ).
4) You will go to "advanced" menu. Go to "FSB FREQUENCY" pressing down arrow and press enter.
5) Set 133MHz and press Enter.
6) Now you go to the EXIT pressing (-> ). And set SAVE CHANGES AND EXIT.
7) The system will reboot and the CPU will be at 2000MHz/266MHz FSB (Athlon XP 2400+).
