That might have been the case in the early days of althlon xp, but not anymore. That number is the "PR rating" and its based on the variety of benchmarks which AMD has done previously.

Nowadays, there are 2 main athlon XP cores: the "throughbred", and "barton"
there is also a palomino core, which was built on a 0.18 micron process, and originally for notebooks, but I dont see too many people with those anymore


1.47GHz (AMD 1700+)
1.53GHz (AMD 1800+)
1.6GHz (AMD 1900+)
1.67GHz (AMD 2000+)
1.73GHz (AMD 2100+)
1.8GHz (AMD 2200+)
1.9GHz (AMD 2600+)
2GHz (AMD 2400+)
2.08GHz (AMD 2600+) 333 FSB
2.17GHz (AMD 2700+)
1.83GHz (AMD Barton 2500+)
2.08GHz (AMD Barton 2800+)
2.17GHz (AMD Barton 3000+)
2.1GHz (AMD Barton 3000+)
2.2GHz (AMD Barton 3200+)

AMD owns intel in the lower end processor market, but has had trouble keeping up in the high end market. Don't forget, clock speed doesnt mean anything (cause AMD processors do more work per clock cycle). This is why Athlon XP @ 1.47Ghz sweeps the floor with Intel P4 @2.0. But ever since the introduction of the new P4"C" intel models (2.4Ghz and up, with the 800FSB, and HT), AMD has had trouble keeping up..

Originally posted by DigiNut Sounds to me like your FSB speed is set too low. Let's say your FSB was set to 200 MHz to get that 1250 MHz, that gives a multiplier of 6.25 and if your FSB was set properly at 266 MHz then you'd have a 1663 MHz processor running speed. What you probably don't want to do is change the multiplier. However, if the FSB speed is set lower than it should be, you can safely raise that to whatever your motherboard will support (if your motherboard doesn't support high enough FSB speeds, that may be part of the problem as well). Hope that helps.

that helped ALOT

i know for a fact that my xp2000+ can get to 1.6ghz as i gotten that speed in 98 before, but when i went to set the FSB speed to 133mhz in the BIOS, my XP wouldnt boot up, then i got some error abt corruption in the MBR/bootsector damaged etc

so i got the option to CHKDSK it, i did that and windows just put my entire C: to one file, and my C: got entirely corrupted.

my mobo has got some function on it which if the processor is overclocked, it wont boot or something.

i'll try again and hopefully it will work this time, atm my FSB is at 100mhz, which denotes the 1250mhz performance

wish me luck...

Your motherboard is a piece of junk is the short of it. You need a 133 FSB mobo. Most 100 fsb mobo's can't run 133 stable although you're free to try. You might be able to run at 110 or so to mitigate the difference.

are you using the generic fan / heatsink that came with it?

what's the general temperature?

my motherboard supports both 100/133mhz, it says in the manual, that i gotta short some jumpers to set the FSB as well as do it in the bios, but when i went to set the FSB (jumper wise) the system didnt get past the POST and my monitor didnt boot up, so i had to reset the CMOS, then the problems started happening again...
i got into windows with an overclock of 120mhz, that made my pc run at 1.5ghz, which is below what it should be at. my C: started to go corrupt. i had to reinstall XP, so i did that. now im back to square one, at 1250mhz. i fucking hate this, my processor is capable of 1.6ghz but the system is happy with 1.3ghz...POS


well, i guess im stuck at 1.3ghz.

I had this problem when I first got my 1900+

There should be an option in bios to change the FSB clockspeed (100/133)

What's your motherboard make/model

And what BIOS is it running? (Phoenix, CMOS, etc.)

some AMI bios...supports jumperfree SMIBIOS 2.3.1 support blah blah blah

Okay, so as I understand it:

The fSB can be set on the motherboard using jumpers.

1 [2 3]
Gives you FSB 100MHZ

[1 2] 3
Gives you FSB 133MHZ


Obviously, you want the latter option.



Try this:

Set the jumper to 100MHZ

Open the BIOS, under the ADVANCED tab, set the CPU Host Frequency to AUTO

Save, Shutdown

Now, pop the jumper to 133MHZ.

Startup, see what happens.
