[mythtv-users] Question about nforce2 MB

[Tommy Nijem]

Phillip, you probably have your mobo jumpered for 100Mhz FSB instead of
133

If you multiply 1800 x 1.33 (100 vs 133 FSB) you get 2394(nearly 2400)

So, you should read your mobo manual and see what needs to be done to
set 133 FSB.prob jumper or BIOS setting or both.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Question about nforce2 MB

 

I saw a great deal of people building mythtv boxes use nforce2
motherboards so I bought one along with an AMD Athlon XP2400+ Processor
Thoroughbred Core.

 

While building my mythtv box I encountered so many errors I actually
reverted to Windows XP for a moment to check out some performance
issues.  XP shows the processor as AMD 1800+ 1.4Ghz instead of the 2400+
2Ghz!!!  Could they have sent me the wrong chip or should I check some
jumpers on the motherboard?

 

I am going to take the chip out when I get home today and eyeball the
processor to make sure but I figured I would post the question to the
group to see if anyone has heard of this problem before..
