intel d815eea detects p3 733 as 533 mhz

[naka-pako]

Trying to put together a machine for a friend's daughter (first time building one). Mobo is a d815eea and a p3 733 mhz. Booted it up and cpu is detected as a 533eb. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Other components: ibm 30gb hd, 64 mg vid; 256 pc133.

thanks,

1st question, are you sure of the p3 being a 733? what makes you sure?

2nd, did you check the manual for the mulitplier?

Yes, we popped the chip into a ga 6vtx and is was showing as a 733. I don't have the chip in front of me right now but I do remember it saying 733 on it.

The product guide does not mention anything about multipliers unfortunately.

The Bios is plug n pray so there is nothing to set. Did you use the same ram in teh intel board as the ga 6vtx? If not, are you sure you have PC133? 533 would be about the right speed for the multiplier x 100 bus speed, instead of the 133 bus speed you need to get 733.

thanks for the suggestions. i found that there is a 3-pin jumper block that determines the BIOS Setup program's mode.. When the jumper is set to configuration mode and the computer is powered up, after the POST runs, a maintenance menu is displayed along with the other options in the BIOS setup. You can set the processor speed under this menu.

thanks all.....d

Where on the board is that jumper block located?

[Larommi]

J7C1 between the front of the board and PCI slots 2 and 3

Many thanks, Larommi. I sure didn't know that either & if Intel has any info on it, it's buried pretty deep.

Actually, I find there site pretty easy to get around. Could be that I have been using it for years.
