Why is it Not running at 2800mhz when I purchased an athlon 2800, what is
the current speed of the machine? I also keep on increasing the system
bus
by 1mhz and it just keeps going higher and higher surely there is a limit.


The 2800 is a performance rating, not a clock speed. It reflects how the CPU
performs compared to "other" comparable processors at 2800Mhz, meaning Intel
P4's. It's not actually bogus, since the comparison is reasonably valid, and
people in general buy into the Mhz = power thought process. In my opinion,
the Barton performance ratings are a little overinflated. A 2200Mhz Barton
3200+ is a lot closer to a 2.8-3.0Ghz P4 than a 3.2 Ghz P4.
