Hi,
I've read all the posts that could be the solvation of my problem but i still dont get it.
i bought all the parts and put them together:
AMD Athlon Xp 3000+
Asrock K7VT4A PRO
1Gb Team Memory
ATI Radeon 9600 PRO
Maxtor 200 Gb (i know i know...)
450 Watt PSU

My pc runs at ~1.0Ghz now so thatcant be good
FSB is set to 100Mhz now and i can change it but if i overdo it it will crash. and i can only get a 1900+ out of it (max).

cant find the settings for any multiplier maybe i need another BIOS or so? please help me. my PC should run dubbel the speed.(at least i hope it should)

Thank you very much
email me if u want: bennie_steging@msn.com

maybe this will help anything?

Is there a jumper on your motherboard that can control ur CPU FSB?? Correct way should be 200x10.5 = 2100Mhz.. Try read your motherboard's manual first and look for that jumper... If not, try 133Mhz/166Mhz then 200Mhz FSB setting... Make sure you RAM is DDR400... If your RAM is DDR266, then you may want to change the CPU:Memory to 3:2 so your FSB run at 400Mhz, RAM run at 266Mhz...

TMP-Man

Asus A7V classic rev 1.05
Athlon XP 2100+ @ 130x17 = 2209Mhz 1.81v
768MB PC133 RAM @ 130Mhz 2-2-2
40GB 540RPM + 120GB 7200RPM HD
128MB Radeon 9500 mod 9700 @ 360/585

Your board supports up to 333FSB CPUs only! Your 3000+ is the 400FSB version...so at the very best, it will run at 1750MHz (10.5 x 166MHz).

Did you configure the FSB jumpers on your motherboard? Check your manual, page 13.

Here's the jumper config for 166MHz (333FSB):

FSB_SEL0 - place jumper cap on pins 2-3
FSB_SEL1 - OPEN (no jumper cap)
FSB_SEL2 - place jumper cap on pins 1-2

OK thanks ill try and figure it out..

Im having problems on doing that jumper thing
coz i got a vent over the processor and i have no idea how to take that off...maybe ill go return this one and buy a better one with a better mobo....like an AMD Athlon 64 4000+ or something

Did you even look at your manual? The jumpers aren't even close to the proccessor & they should be easy to get at...they're near the end of the 2 uppermost PCI slots, beneath the IDE connectors

Yeah im sorry i checked the box but i think my mate got the manual i do see some jumpers but i dont know which ones i need to unlock i could check the internet thanks for your help.
thanks for the info in a couple of days there is another PC discount and im thinking of buing a new mobo and maybe a new processor (maybe a 64-bit) but my mate told me that wouldnt be smart cause there arent any 64-bit games yet he said it would take several years and by then i could buy a better processor for less the money what do you think?

thanks again

Dude, I gave you info! The jumpers are numbered on the board & I told you where they're located. All you have to do is open the case, find them, & change them! I can't believe you wanna buy an entire new PC simply becuase this one is configured incorrectly. Just fix it!

FSB_SEL0 - place jumper cap on pins 2-3
FSB_SEL1 - OPEN (no jumper cap)
FSB_SEL2 - place jumper cap on pins 1-2

Go to this site & download the manual...scroll to the bottom of the list to find your model number:

And your "mate" obviously knows about as much about PCs as you do. The Athlon64 technology is far more advanced than the AthlonXP...there's really no comparison, the A64 is superior! And you don't need 64-bit software to run one.

lol ok im sorry ill go and figure it out thanks again lol u r funny hehe thats ok

haha i opened the pc i saw it right away change the jumpers and voila it works as a 2200+ now im thinking of buying a new mobo that can run FSB400
what do you think?

Thank you very much! my Pc runs 75% faster now.
now i can play cod2 on high settings hehe
