Fsb

[Orange_Boy]

can you change your fsb at all? as i got a 2.4ghz pen 4 chip but its running at 1.8ghz because my motherboard cant have more then 100mhz )fsb(

Get a new mobo then lol

[tesco]

if ur motherboard supports OCing then u can problably get it up to sped but u probably should buy a new motherboard...and ram that supports the speed u need.

Can't, or you don't know how to change it?

If it is so old that it can't go higher then Matt is right, you need to replace your mobo, but of course that will probably mean changing your memory too.

If it is simply that you don't know how then you'd better tell us what mobo you've got, aida32 will give you that information.

loo around in the bios somewhere for the chip...probably in advanced chipset options or something like that.

You'll see vcore, multiplier, fsb, etc. Tell us what these values are set to then someone can tell you which need to be changed.

not sure if ur motherboard will support that chip since i have no clue what the fsb of that chip is.

also the multiplier has nothing to do with updating\flashing the bios...just so you know.

ok checking bios now

cpu -

Cpu Type - Intel pentium 4a, 1800 (4.5 x 400)
Cpu alias - northwood
cpu stepping - C1
Original Clock - 2400mhz

I downloaed the manual from the web and if you check page 3-22 you will see:

CPU FSB Clock (Mhz)
This setting allows you to select the CPU Front Side Bus clock frequency.
Setting options: 100MHz~161MHz at 1MHz increment.

Those setting can be found in your BIOS under: Hardware Monitor Setup.
