Don't forget that the XP2400 name is not the speed of the CPU.
Also Dx might just be playing up(it does).There are several other free
diagnostic programs to show the real speeds.

and speed fan can software over clock as well as tell you a lot of

I'm the owner of a K7S5A (version 3.1a). I recently purchased an AMD XP
proccessor at 2400 Mhz with 266 FSB. The motherboard supports SDRAM(133 Mhz)
& DDRAM(266 Mhz). Until now I used a Kingston 512 MB SDRAM 133 Mhz and
Direct-X showed that an AMD XP 1493 Mhz was installed. I looked at the BIOS
Setup utility and saw that the CPU frequency was at 100Mhz and DRAM
frequency was at 100 Mhz too. Today i bought a new DDRAM at 333 Mhz and the
result was the same. I tried to update the BIOS which was successfull and to
clear the CMOS succesfully too. The result was same too. Then I tried
something else which was changing the CPU frequency at 133Mhz and DRAM
frequency at 133 Mhz I also changed the SDR/DDR CAS Latency at 2T. Direct-x
showed me then that I had an AMD XP at ~2GHz.My question is: am I getting
false readings from Direct-X or Direct-X is ok and I should do changes at
the BIOS utility.I even tried to let BIOS autodetect my CPU but it worked at
1493MHz. Any workarounds?

I would be very gratefull for any suggestions you would make.
