I have A 1300+ processor in my CPU but in system in control panel it says i only have 952mhz. Can Someone Tell me why this is?

you have an amd cpu the 1300 means that you can overclock it to that much but usually it is below that number. i have a 1800 and it is really 1.4 mhz.

Apart from Overclocking issues.
In the System Properties, is this being reported as an AMD 1300+, and with 952MHz?
Or as a lesser model [952MHz as you inicate above].
If it is not reported correctly as an AMD1300+, then you need to set the CPU clock speed in BIOS to match the requirements of this CPU: check with the Manual as to how to do this.

There is no 1300+...you probably have a 1.3Ghz Duron. I don't think there was a 1.3Ghz Athlon T-bird, but there was a 1.33Ghz model.
My guess would be that your FSB is set wrong. If you have a 1.3 Duron, your multiplier would be 13x...if you divide 952/13 you get 73.2 FSB. If you have a 1.33 T-bird, your multiplier would be 10x. 952/10 gives you 95.2 FSB. So it appears that your FSB is set at either 75 or 95 mhz, rather than 100 (Duron) or 133 (T-bird).

You sure you don't have a PC Chips 810 Rev 7.1 C or an ECS K7SEM with the soldered on Duron XP1200+ cos that is what it sounds like to me.

But the Duron XP1200+ is supposed to run at 850mhz...could it possibly be this mobo/CPU but overclocked with a 112 FSB?

can i set the fbs to be 113? and i DO have a 1.3 Athlon. if i can set the fbs to 113 will it make my cpu faster?

I was mistaken before about the 1.3ghz Athlon (reply # 3). If your CPU is the Athlon 1.3 & not the Athlon 1.33, your multiplier should be locked at 13x & your FSB should be set at 100. However, if for some reason your multiplier is unlocked, you can experiment with the settings a little.
It seems as if your board is set at 8.5 x 112 FSB = 952mhz?
Without knowing what board you have & what type of memory (PC100 or PC133), it's difficult to tell you what you can do with it. 13 x 100 FSB is correct setting for a 1.3 Athlon. But you could try, 10 x 133 FSB if you have PC133 memory & the ability to raise your FSB that high.
