My hardware is as follows:
Windows XP
Elitegroup L7VMM3 Motherboard
256MB Ram
AMD Athlon XP 2600+

My Bios shows the processor as an XP 2600+ But when I get into windows it only shows as an XP 1400+

I have updated my Bios and this still has made it no better.

My internal clock is 1200.04mhz
My system clock is 133.34mhz

Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get the computer working to the optimum performance!?

Isn't that one of those boards with the integrated CPU? If so, what you're calling an XP 2600+ should actually be called a Pro 2600A+

I used to have a link that listed the true clock speeds of those CPUs...my guess is you're clocked correctly. I'll post the link if I can dig it up....

Here's a different list that I found doing a quick Google search:

Pro 1200+ = Duron 850 MHz
Pro 1300+ = Duron 900 MHz
Pro 1400+ = Duron 950 MHz
Pro 1600+ = Duron 1.0 GHz
Pro 1800+ = Duron 1.2 GHz
Pro 2000+ = Duron 1.3 GHz

Pro 2100A+ = Athlon 1.1 GHz
Pro 2200A+ = Athlon 1.2 GHz
Pro 2300A+ = Athlon XP Mobile 1400+ (1.2 GHz)
Pro 2400A+ = Athlon 1.3 GHz

Pro 2600A+ = Athlon XP 1400+
Pro 2700A+ = Athlon XP 1500+
Pro 3000A+ = Athlon XP 1700+
Pro 3100A+ = Athlon XP 2000+

Cheers Jam

That makes a lot more sense now and would explain why I cant get it working like an XP 2600+

Now is the time to double check how the product was advertised and see if It was a misunderstanding on my part or to see if the product was advertised wrongly!

Hi Kailas,

I guess you responded while I was copy/pasting. No, that's not the site I was thinking of. I just posted what I think will solve wallis_online's problem...that is, if he has one of those integrated CPU boards.

Are you referring to the "amd vs p4" post? I looked at it earlier but wasn't awake enough at the time to give a coherent response....lol! I'll have another look.

BTW, did you get my reply to you in the post just below that one?

Make sure the FSB is at 166 Mhz.

If you can't set the FSB to 166 Mhz, you probably got jipped. You should think about RMA'ing the motherboard.

The FSB is NOT supposed to be 166mhz & he didn't get "jipped". If anything, he didn't fully understand what he was buying. A Pro 2600A+ is not an XP 2600+...1200mhz is the correct speed for what he has

Yes, he did get jipped, if the person purchased the processor separately!

It's also possible that the motherboard he is using is outdated.

Dude, I suggest you do some research on the L7VMM3. The CPU is integrated...that is, soldered to the board. You cannot upgrade the CPU or remove it without destroying the board/CPU combo...unless you're damn good at desoldering/resoldering...lol!

jam's correct...we talked about these about a year ago when they first hit the market.

It's a very lo cost "combo" that takes "creative marketing" to the very limits of a persons imagination.

These things will brouse the internet, do word processing and other basic chores but; not much more. These "combos" are what make $99 rigs possible in the stores (Fry's for one) but also confuse the hell out of those who try to make sense of the numbers.

It's best to use 'em as a basic rig and go elsewhere for a machine to do video or gaming.

Pro 2600A+ = Athlon XP 1400+
Pro 2700A+ = Athlon XP 1500+

I'm sure no one will ever read this, but I was searching for this thread & found this unanswered question.

If you look at what you quoted from the other response, you'd have your answer. The 2600A+ = XP1400+ = 1.2Ghz = 1200mhz
