1st of all, it's a 2500+ Sempron, not 2500MHz. It runs at 10.5 x 166MHz (1750MHz). You have the FSB set to 100MHz...get into the BIOS & change it to 166MHz. Hopefully you have at least PC2700 RAM?
BTW, if you were running a 100MHz (200FSB) CPU before upgrading, you'll have to change the CPU_FSB jumper on the board, if not, it's just a simple BIOS change.

Summary: If you're running the CPU at 11 x 166MHz, it will be recognized as a 2500+ by SANDRA. Did you check the numbers printed on the CPU to verify that it's a true 3200+? Most 2500+ CPUs will run as 3200+, ...
Summary: Well u know so i can OC and at a nice rate. what would be ok or OC a 2600+ barton and the asus a7n8x-x board. Yes I am a street racing computer nerd ...
Summary: What is it that your current system can't do? Your CPU is fine & 2GB RAM is unnecessary. Sound quality is a matter of taste. Your next investment should be a new socket 939 system w/PCI-e video card, ...
