Running Windows xp. Upgraded to Bios 1012 after upgrading to AMD 2400XP.
CPU/PCI only runs at 100/33. (isn't it suppose to run at 133/33?) Windows
shows that my system runs at 2.08 GHz but Asus Pc Probe shows at 1400 MHz.
I'm running in jumperfree mode. Have 768 meg of DDR ram. one stick of
pc2100 Azenram 512 and the other stick of 256 DDR Azemram pc2100. Also
tried beta bios 1013 to no avail. Chip is still shown as AMD 2000+

Any ideas anyone ?
 
I have the exact same problem. The motherboard revision number I have is
1.03 and unfourtunately it is 50/50
chance of properly supporting the XP chips. Mine doesn't. :( The 1.10
revisions are supposed to support them 100%
 
I just dropped a 1800 Palomino in mine. you have to set the jumpers
manually. and then do a trick to make the FSB be available for
adjustment try the following:

For users of the 10 dip switch board it’s a bit more tricky as to how to
get use of multiplier since we can’t seem to get it in BIOS, we have to
fake out the system a little. It will be a relatively easy procedure but
it takes a little time and patience. So lets get started.

1. Have your system in jumperfree mode to start with. JEN jumper at
default pin 2-3
2. Turn system off.
3. turn on DSW 10
4. Configure your multiplier that you want to use via the jumpers
following the chart
5. Change JEN jumper to jumper mode by switching it to pin 1-2
6. Boot up your system and go directly into the BIOS. Don’t make any
changes and save your bios.
7. Shutdown.
8. This is the trick, DO NOT change ANY dip switches!
9. Move JEN jumper back to jumperfree mode pin 2-3.
10. Boot up pc and go directly to BIOS.
11. You should see the multiplier of your choice is greyed out BUT you
can now work with your FSB and VCore at your leisure.
12. If you need to change these settings, you must repeat them from the top.
 
My problem is that I can still adjust the FSB and VCore but for some reason
it will not go past 108mhz (214 ddr).
I guess it is because the multiplier is too high and the chip can't hanle
that much of an overclock.
