Other problems and overclocking
Wait a minute, my new Barton is 1100MHz! WTH?

Simple solution: Go into the BIOS and change the FSB from 100 to 166.

This applies to all similar problems: You just got a new CPU, but it isn't being detected at the right speed. All you have to do is go into BIOS and change the FSB to the appropriate setting.
I want to overclock. How do I do it?

Hoo, boy, this one is tough. I recommend browsing around the CPU and Motherboard Technologia forum looking for similar threads or pieces of advice.

If you still have not found any help, here is a simple guide.

Since most new CPUs have lately come with multiplier locks (with the Mobile Athlon XP series being the primary exception which I will not address, as there is already a loads of information about it everywhere), I will describe how to overclock the FSB.

First of all, for most modern chipsets, best performance comes from having the CPU's FSB running the same speed as the memory (or half of it, in the case of dual-channel Pentium 4 chipsets). With this in mind, you should have memory that is able to overclock.

For this, I recommend any memory that has a relatively high frequency rating (DDR400 or higher) and a relatively low CAS latency (2.0 or 2.5).

The reason for the lower CAS latency is that when you raise it, you suddenly have the ability to achieve higher clock speeds with your memory. For example, if you have DDR333 memory with a CAS latency of 2.0, and you raise that CAS latency to 2.5 or 3.0, you can run that same memory at DDR400 or better within spec.

Now, you go into the BIOS and start pushi
