Hi,
I am new to this system building but I just installed a new AMD Sempron 2500 on a Abit V20 motherboard and my control panel only shows it running at 1.39GHz. The specs on this CPU say it runs at 1.75GHz. I have check my BIOS settings and they are set to optimal and 133MHz. Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks,
Geekster
Generally better to start your own thread, but in this case I think the original problem has been more than answered. What motherboard and CPU do you have?

From what I could find, that board only supports up to 266FSB (133 * 2) so you are out of luck as far as getting the processor to run at its rated speed.
