My A XP 2700+ processor show up as a 2100+, and CUPID.exe also identified it as a 2100+. It was installed in a enw Biostar Barebone ystem that supports 333 FSB and Athlon XP but I'm thinking it could be the jumper settings.

Is this possible , can anyone help me?

The 2700+ has a multiplier of 13 and utilizes the 166 (333) bus speed, runs at 13x166MHz.

The 2100+ has a multiplier of 13 also but utilizes the 133 (266) bus speed, runs at 13x133.

What you need to do is verify that your front side bus speed is set to 166 (333) in the bios.

Also is the RAM you are using capable of 166MHz ie it's called "PC2700" or "DDR333" RAM.

Sure enough (2700+), just had to change the bios setting.

I'm glad you mentioned the 166=333, 133=266 thing or I wouldn't have understood that.

Checked the RAM (DDR 256MB|DDR400), so I guess it works.

I guess I was jsut wondering if CUPID's verdict was all-seeing and absolute, because then I could sotp wondering if it was the right prossesor or not. That must not be the case.

Thank you very much.

A lot depends on the bios, Before I upgraded to the latest bios, this was showing as a 2800+ Now it shows the actual cpu model even though its overclocked. Pay no attention to the fact that windows see's it 2.32. I knocked the multi down by a step through PowerNow™

CBID is a much better tool...
