113 fbs or 533??

[pooPOOman]

ok.. i have a 845G MAX (ms-6580 v1.X) ATX Mainboard.... i have a P-4 2.26Ghz cpu w/ 512K & 533FBS... i know the motherboard supports 533FBS but when i read my system info... it says that my motheerboard is only running at 133FBS.. do you think its a bios problem or is it just systeminfo (from 3dMark2001 is wrong??) if you can help.. please reply... thank you...

133 should be right

LOL, that's because there is no such thing as 533MHz FSB, all the latest CPU's run with a 133MHz FSB. AMD uses a DDR bus and founded the lie with their so called "200MHz system bus" a long time ago. The marketing gimick was so sucessful that Intel had to follow suit when they released their Quad Data Rate bus, instead of telling you up front it was QDR they lied and called it 533MHz. "QDR533" means 133MHz at four bits per cycle per data connection. not 533 actual megahertz. Same goes for AMD's "266" and Intel's "400" bus. What BIOS and other programs are reporting is the true clock speed, not the QDR rating.

Just marketing, and your FSB is still at 133MHz. :tongue:
