Make certain that the FSB (front side bus)speed in the bios is correct for
your installed hardware. On my board an improper startup can revert the FSB
speed to it's default settings. This will make the CPU run a lot slower. My
AMD Athlon XP 3200, for instance, will show up as running at 1.2 meg instead
of at the correct 2.2 meg.
