Computer question

[JFH]

I have a Asus motherboard and a AMD 2700XP chip. Noticed that the computer was reading the chip as a 1500 XP. I've had this MB for about a year and this never happened. Went into the bios and checked, everything ok. Exit bios didn't change anything now it's reading the right chip 2700XP. What made it do this.

Thanks

You should update the latest bios drivers, mine did the exact same thing. I flashed the bios and it reads fine.

Thanks that what I thought I'd have to do. Never flashed a bios guess I'll have to read the manual

FOr some reason your BIOS reverted back to 100FSB, when the chip needs 133FSB to be reported at the correct speed. You chose the correct speed the next time the BIOS prompted for it, and now it reports the correct speed. Unless it happens agai, or something isn't working right, there's no need to update your BIOS.

Actually this is a known issue with Asus, like i stated above, I had to do the same exact thing with my AMD, actually it wouldent even let me change my FSB it was so screwed up.
