i knew this a long time ago, but i didnt wanna say anything and i tired to forget about it, but the processor i bought was from ebay with the title of 3000+ AMD... well i dont think it is...

a 3000+ AMD chip should be faster than 1.29ghz, right?

can someone find me a good socket a chip that will be lots faster? this machine should be pimp!

I would think so. I have an AMD Athlon 3000 XP at 2.09 GHz.

If thats a Barton 3000+ it should run at 2.16Ghz....

somethings wrong in the biso

On a call right now give me a min...

I got the same machine Nate bought and it'* a Sempron 3000+ and it'* a 2 gig chip

Sounds like the voltage is set low in the bios

Witch motherboard do you have...?

voltge or the FSB is set wrong...

gigabyte ga-7n400 pro-2

wow thats an old one...

i think my dad might have the same one so you might be lucky!!

One thing you can try is Go into your Bios and check the FSB settings.

It should be at 333Mhz, if its at 200 or 233 then you change it to 333 and that should fix it.

im looking into it right now to see if it can support then CPU

yup it does

Front Side Bus
400/333/266 MHz FSB

so yeah check you Bios settings.
