I'm helping a friend upgrade an old PC's cpu and memory and have a few questions. The PC is currently running a socket 478 P4/Celeron 1.7GHz 400FSB and DDR266. The motherboard supports up to a P4 3.0GHz with Hyperthreading. It also supports DDR200/DDR266/DDR333. It's listed as only having 400/533FSB support?
So here is my question, I just installed a P4 2.6GHz 800FSB + HypeThreading in the PC and using the same old DDR266 and it's working BUT it says that it is only running at 1.3GHz? What seems to be the problem? Also will DDR333 memory change anything? Would it be compatible with this cpu?
In My Computer XP it says 2.6GHz and then following that it says 1.3GHz. In System Information it says it's running at 1297MHz, there's no mention of 2.6GHz.
