Get into your BIOS & check your FSB setting...it sounds like it's on 100 when it should be 133

If a 2200+ was running on a 100Mhz fsb it would be within 20Mhz of a 1500+. Check your motherboard documentation and see if there is a jumper that needs to be moved from the 100Mhz position to the 133Mhz position.
