[RESOLVED] AMD k62500 reported as 300

[paul s]

I have just upgraded a system and installed a AMD k62500 processor into it and for some reason it is being reorted as a AMD K62300.
I have set the voltage to 2.2v and speed to 100mhz and mulyplyer to 5x. This is set on a Jetway 542b.

I have looked and looked and can not find what is wrong, can anybody please help.

Thanks
Paul

You haven't got a VIA MVP3 chipset by any chance, just asking as I'm having roughly the same problem (Posted in BIOS/MOTHERBOARD)

Remember to reset the jumpers to 500 and not to leave them at 300

K6's aren't like PIII's that auto do that stuff

Have you guys checked to see if there is a bios upgrade? Chances are there is.

I 2nd the motion for checking for a bios upgrade. Some motherboards, such as the Abits, had an update for certain models that corrected mis-reporting processor speeds. Also to fix the bug with some models reporting Pentium III processors as Pentium II's.

Check it out!!
