"Example: Lets say I buy an AMD Athlon XP2400+ processor with a FSB of 266MHz. (XP2400 has a clock speed of ~2000MHz). If I do not set the system clock to 133MHz then I get the processors multiplier (15) times the default bus speed (100). This gives me the wrong processor speed (1500MHz) and the motherboard will either tell me I have a 1,500MHz thunderbird processor, or a XP1700+ processor. Changing the system clock in bios to 133 will make the motherboard detect the processor properly and give me the right processor speed."

This is the first time I have been unable to determine the correct cpu/fsb settings to get a new mb/cpu to run at 2400 with an AMD XP 2400 CPU. The mb is an ASUS A7N8X-X and I cant seem to get it much beyond 1800?
CPU External Freq = 100 (twice this is FSB, 200mhz)
CPU Frequency Multiple 12x
so shouldnt this give me 2400mhz for the CPU?
Am I missing something?
