My Chip isn't showing the right Ghz
ok, just re build my PC. Brand new everything, I got a 2.4 AMD chip, but when I boot up it shows as a 1.1Ghz? It also shows that on system in wondows.

I looked in the Bois and couldn't see anything to change it.

2 questions

1. How do I change it
2. Does it even matter?

probably a bus speed jumper on the motherboard....

check to see what the bus speed on your cpu is, then check your motherboard for varabile settings for it.

most mobos can automatically detect it, but some still need the correct jumper configuarion.

well if yopu have an incorrect bus speed set, your puter will either not post, or post at lowered speeds.

so if you want the full capacity of the chip...

also, if you have an amd 2400 it wont actually run at 2.4 ghz, it runs at something like 1.8

all amds are deceptive that way.

what type of motherboard do you have, and what type of cpu (like sempron, athlon)

i'll be able to tell you if its a bus speed thing...

closest I could fine was the 7NF-RZ, so I think that;ll be close enough.

http://america.giga-byte.com/MotherB...l_7nf-rz_e.pdf

check page 8 on that, by the sounds of it, if the switch is on, it should see your cpu fine, if its set to off...it'll explain your problem

its a switch right above your agp slot, right where it says "cpu fan"

No you shouldnt have to reinstall.

The AMD Sempron PR2600+ socket A actually runs at 1.833 ghz thats what you should be seeing.

I have only built intel pentium systems so I have no idea about AMD's.
