Number of CPUs 1

Well, thats good.

Specification AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+
Family/Model/Stepping 6A0

And this is right.

Clock multiplier x11.5
Front Side Bus Frequency 133.3 MHz

And here's the problem. That should be 166.67Mhz, so set it to 166 in
the bios. This should give you the proper default speed of the 2600+
Barton (1916MHz). If you want more speed than that, you can probably go up
to about 180MHz on the FSB with the KT400A chipset before it screws up the
other buses.
