AMD Athlon 2600 giving me 1,65GHz

Comment:
I just built a computer with an AMD Athlon 2600 XP+ and the motherboard is from MSI KT4V. It's only showing up as an AMD Athlon XP 2000 with a speed of 1,67GHz. If I increase the FSB to 166 it crashes. What are the correct settings? Thanks for your help.

Try setting your ram to 133 and your cpu to 166 (The ram could be what is crashing your comp.) If that fixes it try changing your ram timeings around tell it works at 166. also make shure youre PCI is set to 33Mhz.

which Athlon 2600 do you have there are two versions and in the cpu support list on msi website it only shows support for the 266 FSB model does not show support for both types i thought that this was strange as the 333 FSB Athlon 2600 model does not show in cpu support list. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/cpu_support/cpu/spt_cpu_detail.php?UID=362%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&NAME=MS-6712
Thanks for everyone's help so far.... I am now at 2,09 Ghz thanks to your suggestions. I presume 2,09Ghz is what you get out of AMD Athlon 2600+! Is that right?
I'm not that experienced in CPU stuff. I always thought 2600 means 2.6, so 2,09 GHZ still sounds slow but I guess that's normal?
I have the Athlon XP 2600+ on the KT4V board. I don't know what else to say.
How can I make sure my settings are still correct?

"Yes 2.08Ghz is advertised for the 2600+333fsb"
Why is that? Mhz to Ghz is a straight conversion, *.001 (or /1000). It's not like ram where 1mb would equal 1024kb.
I'm very interested in where that is being advertised? I just picked up a Athlon XP 2600 yesterday and I'm throwing it in tonight.
