It was a gigabyte board, and I think it's common on them
its common with nvidia nforce 2 chipsets for 32bit amd chips, it actually locks the FSB to 100MHz, so in reality yours would be a 10x multiplyer lock.
its there purely for compatibility on older Athlon chips

Upgrade you ram.
I don't like mixing ram speeds etc. Always seems to hinder the system

tbh the most restrictive thing will be the PC2700 RAM coupled with that motherboard...
also, the chip will be multiplyer locked, so all you can do is adjust the FSB speed.

cheers fella :)
Running 2700 and 3200 ram, so its defaulting to 166Mhz, which im guessing isnt helping at all.
Tried setting it to 166 13x, but mobo only goes up to 12.5x :lol:
Saying that though a refresh has caused it to increase to 2104.xMhz with the FSB increasing a few Mhz too - any reason to this?
any suggestions on getting a few more "horses" out of the xp3000? Though ive heard that they arnt that good at overclocking?
:thumbs:

Although i've just re-read what you've written.
Thats fine.
A few mhz here and there doesn't make any difference.
Mine fluctuates as well.

Should be either
200MHz 10.5x
or
166MHz 13.0x

Got an XP3000 barton in my current system and just loaded CPU-z to find that its running at 1000MHz - half what it should!!
Tried to up the multiplier from 10.5 to 11x and it locked, refresh bios and its now running at 2091.5. However, from what ive seen it should run a bit more than that at 2166+ :|
Currently:
2091.6
Multiplier: 10.5x (can go higher, but caused it to lock at 11x)
FSB: 199.2MHz (set to 200, max it will go)
Bus Speed: 398.4MHz
Voltage: 1.680
Using a ASUS A7N8X motherboard
Are these settings correct?
cheers all :wave:
