well i just finish building my computer but my computer cant Recognize my CPU and just puts it as a unknown CPU at 800MHz... is there anyway for my comp to Recognize it?
i got a AMD Athlon XP 2600 Mobile

Check the BIOS and see what it says there.
the answer is friggin abviouse... the same thing, it doesen't Recognize it...
Why is it obvious? Are you being a twat on purpose?Originally Posted by Monkeee
If you want help, you'll need to post more information.
What is the motherboard?
Some motherboards cant reconize M cpus my nf7-s cant tell what cpu i have....
if u want to know the frequency download cpu-z
you have to set the FSB and (since its a mobile chip) prolly the multiplier to the correct setting.........Originally Posted by Monkeee
FSB will be 266 for your mobile, and multiplier prolly around 15 (could be 14, or something else around that)
if those settings are correct it will recognize your CPU........
hmmm... if its unrecognize am i still using my CPU to the fullest?
No, it will be running at the bare minimum. You need to set the speeds manually, for the default for that chip you should set base frequency to 133MHz (sometimes they quote the FSB speed in which case it is double that) and the multiplier to 15 (I think).Originally Posted by Monkeee
However, I know you are thinking of overclocking, so my advice would be to start with a base frequency of 166MHz (333 FSB) and a multiplier off 11.5, which is the default for the desktop chip. You will eventually exceed these figures anyway so you might as well start nearer your final end point.
.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
lol since this is my first time building a computer and overclocking a CPU and stuff i'm not sure what your telling me lolOriginally Posted by lynx
