Grab your Phillips, it's... The Latest from The Screwdriver List! Hi List, I purchased an Abit KT7A Motherboard with 1 gig AMD mounted and operational with fan. When I finally watched the BIOS run on startup, it claimed the processor to be a 750 mhz Athalon. I contacted the vendor and was told to set the BIOS to the 133 mhz bus and multiplier to 7.5 giving me a 1 gig speed. When I do this the machine runs and then freezes up shortly. (one hour to three hours) When I restart the computer, the BIOS resets to the 750 mhz setup. Even if the machine does not freeze and shuts down normally, the Bios tends to reset to the 750 speed. When I run CPUID and Belark Advisor, both call the CPU either a 750 at the slow bus or a 1 gig at the higher bus. My question, is there any way, short of dismantling the fan-CPU combo, of determining correctly what speed the CPU actually is? Thank you for any help. This list is a God send with some of the most knowledgeable people around. Charles E.
