    Is it a propitary motherboard?

    If not, odds are you can simply toggle 100mhz FSB in your BIOS. I'm not sure if the 1200mhz durons are unlocked or not, if so it may detect correct multiplier automatically.

    I suggest consulting your motherboard manual for FSB and multiplier settings.


    edit: and wow phantazm, those are some GIANT red letters you have there. Wouldn't a PM be more appropriate?

    The ECS K7S5a supports 100/133mhz FSB's I dont its possible for it to go lower to 66mhz, I have this motherboard and I think its only the test program you're running, because it does the same thing with my Athlon XP 1800+ in 3dmark, so dont worry about it....

    Ah here we are ->

    ECS K7S5A FSB

    Long story short, the K7S5A misreports the FSB in 3DMark.

    I see your point, but no. Its always been the rules here as far back as I can remember not to post rude words. If I wanna read them, I will type "pr0n" into google or something. Not here. They have no place here. And its fitting that everyone knows. Sorry.
