STILL NEED HELP !processor upgrade!
Hi guys,
I'll try and give as much info as possible, but as you'll soon realise im a bit of a novice!
Anyways, I have just replaced my amd athlon 2400+ with a amd sempron 3000(barton core i believe if it makes a difference)
now i believe the 2400 had a fsb of 266 (133 in bios) however the 3000 has a fsb of 333. however the option in the bios to change from 133 to 166(333) is greyed out. any ideas?
My motherboard is a Time K7M-400 Motherboard which i believe has a VIA chipset?
BIOS: Phoenix technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 07/08/2003
memory = 512MBDDR PC3500 256MBDDR PC2100
Windows xp home edition Service Pack 2
because i cannot change the fsb the processor is only running at 1.6ghz
I have tried without the PC2100 in and it makes no difference
any ideas guys?
thanks
Jim
