Hi, I'm new to this forum and this question is probaly been asked. I have an asrock p4v88 (it goes up to 800mhz fsb) motherboard, intel pent. 4 3.0 ghz w/ 800mhz fsb. The problem I haveing is that the motherboard is't letting me go any faster than 200mhz fsb. I updated the BIOS for that board and the drivers. I'm run ning two sticks of ddr 400 256mb because it is a dual chanel board. I don't know what to do the local computer shop dosn't know anything and the asrock web site dosn't say anything about this either. Please help I feel like I bought a corvette but can only run it like a focus.
That speed is fine. The P4 uses a quad-pumped FSB, so the base FSB (200MHz in this case) is multiplied by 4. This gives you the 800MHz.
Would windows see 800mhz or 200mhz. One of the progreams I have on windows runs a system profile and it also says 200mhz FSB not 800.
it's probably taking your ram speed and saying that's your FSB becaues if your FSB was truely 200, your CPU speed would be less than 1gh.
You can also see your CPU Speed during boot-up .. Just after the Video ROM flashes its info screen... it won't stay on-screen for long though, so keep an eye out for that.
