Make sure the FSB is set to 133MHz. It sounds like it's been changed to 100MHz. The Athlon XP 1700+ should run at 1.47GHz. Please let us know if you found someone's advice to be helpful.

The 1700 is just a PR rating. That processor isn't designed to run at 1700. Set the FSB to 133 and get it back to the 1.4, which sounds about right.

Summary: I have just upgraded to an amd athlon am2 64bit dual core cpu and appropriate mobo. My query is simple enough, do I need 64bit OS ie: xp64 or can I trundle on as is...? Cheers in advance! ...

Summary: Which is better in performance with 2 gb ram, " AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Dual Core Processor 2.31 Ghz or Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E4500 (2M Cache, 2.20 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)" ? ...

Summary: Specwise the P4 prlly outperforms the 3000+ by a few hairs, but i would still get the AMD instead, cheaper, 64 bit capability and will run pretty close to just as fast as the p4, my boss has a 2.8 p4 ...
