What is the normal clock frequency on an AMD 2200+?  (Windows info shows 1.5
Ghz is that normal?)  I put in a 2100+ and the clock automatically reduced

I just wondered if you've had any trouble with your MSI 6163 Pro IDE
controllers? I have two boards that I'm currently using, been using then

Hi - I have a Barton 2500 which is underclocked, because it is in a motherboard which only supports 266 MHz FSB.  (The SK41G XPC system.)  
This was as a result of stupidity on my part.
Regardless, I would like to raise the multiplier to compensate if possible.   There is no built ...
