Comment: I upgraded my P4 1.6 GHz to a P4 2.4 GHz on my ECS P4S5A Motherboard. I updated the Bios to Version 02/08/03 which is the latest and then set the BIOS to Load Optimal Settings. When the computer reboots it says 1.80 GHZ on the startup DOS screen. When I right click My Computer and look at the System Properties .. under Computer, it says Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz and underneath that is says 1.79 GHz, then under that states 384 MB of RAM. From what i understand, I'm not running at the CPU's potential of 2.4 GHz. Is there something i need to change on the motherboard for the settings to reflect the new CPU? Is it something in the BIOS? Does the BIOS need replacing?? Luann
