if it is a slot1 system check to see if there are jumper settings on the board. some have them, some dont. whether its a slot or socket or whatever i would check the bios as well and make sure it has the multiplier where it should be.

"I have a 600mhz/pIII processor which now shows 450mhz"
What has changed on the system, or should I say what did you do lately to the system. Regardless of which PIII (600, 600B, 600E, 600EB) that you've got your default multiplier is either 6x (600 & 600E @ 100MHz) or 4.5 (600B & 600EB @ 133Mhz).
And since your CPU is running at 450MHz, the FSB has changed from 133MHz to 100MHz. Go into the BIOS & change it back

i added another 128mb sdram chip to the existing one.It was then that i noticed the cpu size had diminished. The ram chips are both 100mhz.(the ram is now 255mb according to comp props)Although entering the "bios set up" i can't find the facility to change the fsb speed on my pc.there is no setting under advanced chip set setup. I have an MSI 6183 mobo.

Looke to me like the board realised that the new Ram only supports 100MHz and automatically switched the FSB back. With a 100MHz CPU you also should use 133MHz Ram. With the experiences I made a lot of 100MHz SD Ram also worked at 133MHz but not all do!
Try to remove the newer Ram and see if you're back at 133MHz!

how do i change the speed back from 133 to 100 or vice vrsa..see my previous post bout finding the bios set up
Summary: I wish to raise my FSB in my BIOS from 133 to 200 (since I have PC3500 RAM). I dont want my CPU any faster than the 1400mhz it's rated for, I just want better RAM performance. So I raise the FSB and...
Summary: I was surfing comfortably at this site and others, then my computer suddenly halted and when I reset my machine, to my amazement MB Ram dropped from 256 to 224 MB! Always when I started the computer (...
Summary: Ok sometimes my fan speeds drop from 4800rpm to 300rpm out of the blue. I dont think its because I'm short on power because I have a 400watt supply and i am not running anthing but the basics and one ...
