I believe the XP2400 is running at FSB 266 mhz. The bios CPU FSB should be
set to 133 mhz (2 x 133) not 100 as the bios is probably incorrectly
seeing it. With that done the cpu will be running at the correct spd.

Do watch that k7s5a board. I threw mine out a few weeks ago after the bios
settings kept disappearing and had to be constantly reset. Yes, I had put a
brand new battery in place a month before. I read many complaints from
purchasers of this mb on the Neweggg site. I'd had the board for a year
without a problem and then the difficulties began. I also remember the mb
defaulting to an FSB of 100 and a jumper needing to be moved to have it read
133.

Should I upgrade my BIOS to reflect what is reported in the Operating
Systems?

thanks for any suggestions,

Get some CPU benchmark programs and check out some benchmark sites
etc.Use a Searchy

If your CPU comes up to some of the others then don't worry.Try,"Fresh
