xp2800+

[Daz]

does anyone know the speed of the 2800+ processor that comes straight out of the box with no overclocking? it should be around 2.1 -2.2 ghz am i right?

2250 MHz (13.5 x 166 MHz). - Yes, your right Daz!  ;D

its something that has always bugged me. why name it the xp2800 which sounds like its a 2.8 cpu lol when its realy a 2.2?

i bet its someting so simple  ::)

[Rifleman]

I think its a rating which compares it (the XP2800 Athlon)to the equivalent performance of an Intel 2.8 gig processor ?......anyone else have an idea ?

[BFMF]

You're right Ken.

Windows XP sees my Athlon XP2800+ as 2.09 GHz

[Daz]

how comes yours is at 2.09 and the default is 2.25?

[ATI_7500]

because windows is too dumb to detect a CPU in the right way?


p.s: has anyone of you seen an XP 2800+ (T-Bred) in an online store in the last few weeks? it seems that this CPU isn't anymore avaiable here in germany.

Andrew, think you need to look at your BIOS setup. XP2600+ is 2083GHz so yours looks to be wrong.

Windows doesn't detect the clock speed of the cpu - your BIOS does.

that explains why it runs hotter then my windows recognises my xp2800+ as a duron for some reason lol strange and it only recognisies 2.09 ghz

If Windows reports my AthlonXP 2800+ as 2.09 Ghz, and you say it should read 2.08 Ghz, what's the problem?

[RollerBall]

No, I'm saying a 2600+ is officially 2.083 GHz so your 2800+ should be quite a bit faster. I don't know what the official rating is but 2.25 sounds more or less right.

I'd check to see that you've got a CPU clock of 166 MHz set and a multiplier of Auto or 13.5 (I think it should be) giving a processor speed of 2.24 GHz

You usually get into your BIOS setup by hitting Del at the beginning of the boot sequence.

Then you might try selecting 'Optimal' settings rather than doing it manually if you're not familiar with setting up a BIOS

[Daz]

yep played around with bios changed it to aggressive settings and its fine now and it recognises it as xp not duron lol. temps risen a bit but i have 7 fans in there so wont be too much of a prob i dont think

Ok, my CPU clock is set at 166 MHz and my multiplier is at auto. WinXP still sees it as the same.

I downloaded the 3DMark03 demo, and benchmarked my system, and got online to compare. The sad part is that other computers with the same specs are getting a score twice as much as me. What do I do?

[ATI_7500]

which mainboard do you have ,andrew? i've got now an Athlon XP 2700+,but my EP-8KHA+ recognizes it as an XP 2100+. i think this has something to do with the FSB of your mobo. :/

-update: or you need an updated BIOS...
