RE: [OT] BOOT Help

[<mailinglists@xxxxxxx>]

I think there are a couple of issues here...
1) is, as Phil mentioned, some mobos need the FSB (Front Side Bus) speed
set
manually with 1 or 2 jumpers, this will add 30% more MHz.
2) if you're using an AMD processor, they don't run at their headline
speeds, i.e. A 2.4Ghz chip really runs at 2.0Ghz, but has the same grunt as
an Intel 2.4Ghz part. Depending on the BIOS you have, there may be
discrepancies in the speeds shown in various part of the BIOS...

I seem to remember my mobo did that too when I got it ... I think you need
to change the bus speed from 100MHz to 133MHz or something like that. Mine
came up with 1800MHz when it should have been 2400MHz.

If you have the full memory test enabled then it does take a while -
choose
the quick boot options.
