Did I get what I paid for?

You must check the cpu frequence in the bios.
When you set this on 133 Mgh, I think the problem is gone.

I bought an OEM AMD Athlon XP 2400+ processor from a local computer store
yesterday.

I am going to primarily run FreeBSD on it, but tried it with XP just for
kicks. When I right clicked the "My Computer" icon and went to properties
it says under "Computer":

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+
1.49 GHz
1.00 GB of RAM

So, I ran wcpuid and it came up with:
Processor: AMD Athlon XP (Model 8)
Name String: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+

What gives???
Did I get ripped off, and do I now need to set some people staight?

Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Set the FSB to 133 and then you will have a 2400+ running at 2000Mhz. Set
the FSB to166 (assuming your board supports it) and then you will have a
2700+ running at 2166MHz. Set it to 180, well, you get the picture.

15 is the native multiplier of the 2400+ model. Your FSB is at 100MHz. Raise
it to 133MHz and you'll see 2000MHz, what it should be.

I screwed up. 13x166 is the 2700+:-)
Although with a lot of luck and enough vcore, you might get 15x166
(2500MHz), but not likely. 15x144 should be though, for the same 2166MHz.
