Is it normal for win 9x to read the cpu speed wrong at times.
Sometimes it reads Xp1700+
other times it reads normal @ 2400+

Or am I haveing more probs with the MB.
I went through 1 so far.
I give almost anything 3 chances before I give up

It started today I get it When I right click my computer and click properties.
Very strange indeed. I have a call into ASUS about it.
No big deal so far.
What I have done to fix the misread is shut down for 5 min reboot and no probs.
I think that its the Bios again
perhaps the Eprom.
I am gonna get them to send me a new one.

The bios is the only logical thing I can think of it being.
I could be wrong.
I asked to speak to a engineer instead of a customer service rep.
At least then I will know then dude on the other end is not a dummy reading from a manual.

They released a bios flash for your board today, But it doesn't mention anything about misreading proc. IDs LINK (http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/selectftp.aspx?l1_id=1&l2_id=10&l3_id=23&m_id=1&f_name=AW1001E.zip~zaqwedc)

1.Checking 1394 status when booting up.
2.SATA BIOS update to 4.1.36C.
3.Improve Silicon Image SATA and other old PCI LAN cards PCI performance.
4.Improve memory stability with old NANYA DRAM .
5.Fix a small percent of A7N8X that cannot shut down or cannot auto wake up from S3.

I'll keep looking to see if I can find anything else.

I don't think thats the prob.
No need to rack your brain over it.
If anything I will just make them send me a new board

I wonder if it is a heat prob.
But you saw my readings. They are good.
I am useing a AMD HSF that came with the processor.

All my settings are right.
I have not O/C anything yet.
I am still reading up on it.
I really have a strong feeling it's the Bios chip itself.

Should I upgrade the HSF?

I can send you a CPU ID program that will tell y9ou what speed it is running at. I would not trust WinBlows at all.

No your proc. temps were fine according to that utility.
In that first link I posted, There were some links that had something to do with the problems, But that other forum is down right now. I would have liked to have seen them. :(

Not really unless you can unlock your CPU.

Next time Windoze. Tells you different then run that CPU ID to see what it is really running at.
