Is it supposed to say that? --- End quote --- Sempron 2500+'s are supposed to be run at 1.75Ghz. Your FSB and/or your Multipliers are set incorrectly in your BIOS. --- End quote --- Or it could be a jumper setting on the board it self. --- End quote --- quite right... check your motherboard manual to make sure it's on the correct setting if there is in fact a jumper. --- End quote --- That will probably be the case if you have an older motehrboard (more than 3-4 years old). If you have a recent motherboard (like 1-2 years old), go into the BIOS when the PC boots (you usually have to keep hitting "Delete" or "F2" or "F12"; it's defferent for each motehrboard), and there should be an option to "Load Optimized Defaults". That Should set you to the right speed. The same thing happened when I installed my Athlon XP 2500+ for the first time; it's like a safety feature. |

If you buy an Intel CPU, go for a P4 with a "Northwood" core. |
