bios (or jumper) configuration (cpu speed)

Hi everybody!
I got a processor AMD Duron 1600Mhz
But my bios only find 1200Mhz.
My motherboard is an arsrock K7vm400
on the doc i find something about jumpers for multiplicate something.
Who can help me???
thanks

Hi,

Duron 1600 runs at 133MHz external front side bus frequesncy. Once you
set this inside the BIOS it will come up as 1600.

it's again me
in fact there is nop jumper on my fid (the multipilicator) so the
number is 24 or 11 but the minimal fsb is 200 so 11*200=2200Mhz or i
find only 1200Mhz!
and i can'found any doc of the k7vm4 (exepct the manual) on internet
well if i do the calcul :the fsb minimal is 200 so 1200/200=6
or 266 so 1200/266=4.5
or 333 so 1200/333=3.6 (3.5?)
i don't remember my fsb (my bios crashed)
so i don't understand nothing, why it's so hard? why when i buy a
duron 1600 i work with only 1200? pfffffff

Well, to answer your first question it sounds like the front side bus
is at the wrong speed. However, if you bought this computer this
setting should have already been configured for you. Has the computer
always said it is running at 1200 and you are attempting to fix it now
or have you tried to upgrade the computer any info might be helpful.
As it stands it sounds like the Front Side Bus is set to the wrong
frequency. To change this you will have to open up the computer and
move a Jumper on the motherboard.

looking at the motherboard from front to back where back is the back
of the computer the jumper is located behind and slightly to the left
of the CMOS battery(the round silver object) on the left side of the
motherboard and to the right of a chip(might be labeled as "VIA
VT8235CE") as you go back if you reach the expansion slots then you
have gone to far. The jumper has three pins that run front to back
and should be labeled "FS0" remove the jumper if there is one. That
should fix your first problem.

Hope this helps
