I have my bios set up to 166 Mghz and my multi to 11x but it still says it is a 2200+ NEED HElP

Download CPU-Z' ">http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php. What does it say about your settings and cpu speed?

-------------------------
AMD Athlon X2 4600+ @ 2.8Ghz
DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D
2x 1GB G.Skill PC4000
XFX GeForce 7900GT
Antec TrueBlue 480w PSU
Thermaltake Xaser III case

still says it is a 2200+ and it is a 1.8375 MHz

I mean what the FSB speed and multiplier is according to CPU-Z.

it is 11.0x

THen you'll need a bios update. The processor is running at the speed of a xp2500+, but isn't recognized as one.

my fsb is 1.67 MHz bus speed is 334.1 MHz multiplier is 11.0 X and core speed is 1837.5 MHz And still says it is a 2200+

thank you ill go to msi and do that

Your BIOS is just outta date. The 1833 MHz clockspeed is correct for the XP 2500+. The 333 MHz FSB is correct for the processor as is the "11" multiplier. All is fine except your BIOS is outta date and should read properly with a current BIOS.
