Seems it only runs at 1100 mhz
should be 1833mhz if im not wrong.
There is 5 switches on the mobo. works like a multiplier
But only works if the cpu is not locked.
question. is the barton 2500 locked?
in bios i cant change the multiplier, its faded out
the mobo should work up to 3200+
if its the multiplier i should use, what would be the correkt positions, the
manual shows nothing Sad
tnx

Multiplier is at 11, but FSB is at 100MHz, it should be set 166MHz, leave
everything else alone and you'll be fine.

The problem here is that the fsb is locked to 100mhz
its the newest bios update, but the fsb is faded.
maybe the switched on the mobo should be used.
but no clue in the manual
