Help with FSB speeds
OK, first off this is my system info as best I know, I will update any information as best I can if anyone thinks I need to add any other information. ASUS P4S8X mobo P4 1.

OK, first off this is my system info as best I know, I will update any information as best I can if anyone thinks I need to add any other information.
ASUS P4S8X mobo
P4 1.7GHz socket PGA478 processor set @ 1.87GHz
PC2700 DDR 512MB
ATI RADEON 9700 PRO
onboard sound
Windows XP
This is the first time I have built a system, and the Processor is a chip from an old gateway I had, updating to a new one in a week or two. My question is, after running free version of 3DMark03 and reviewing info, it says my FSB speed is set at 100MHz. As far as I knew (which really is not much ) I thought that the P4 I have runs at the 400 MHz speed. I am thinking of upgrading to the 2.8 GHz P4 since my mobo only supports up to 533 MHz FSB. So really what i am asking is, do I have a setting off somewhere? Not really sure since this is the first time I have really tried to build a decent system, and first experience with the P4. Any and all constructive posts would be greatly appreciated, if more info is needed, let me know and I will try and post it. Thanks!

I hope this is right, and either way, I thank you for your replies. The only thing that makes me wonder is I saw another 3DMark3 with a P4 that had their FSB listed as 400 MHz..where mine was listed as a 100 MHz....but...obviously, I am no tech guru, although I am trying to get a little more informed..

if its a 256L2 cache P4 its not gonna go alot higher ever crankin up the voltage.... i braught one here that a friend had from a Dell and it happened to be the 256L2 cache.. highest it would go in this BH7 mobo
was 2.1 and it wasent stable...
find out what version it is.. grab wcpuid and look at the L2 cache...

between the Willlamete and the Northwood, first and second lines are:
based on 100mhz fsb (400mhz) (1.3-2.6ghz) (1.7-1.75v) -> (1.5-1.525v)
Northwood -3rd and 4th lines:
everything after that is 133mhz fsb (533mhz) (2.26-3.06ghz) (1.5-1.55v)
Northwood -5th lines:
latest one would be 200mhz fsb (800mhz) (3.0ghz) (1.475-1.55v)
try to check out the benchmark again maybe its just a common error :)
