Whoa, good call Las. That didn't even occur to me.
Roboto: what you want to do is take a look at your motherboard documentation. Somewhere in there should be a description of all the jumpers on the entire motherboard, and if Lasereth is right, one of them will be a FSB setting jumper. Make sure you have it set to the 333 MHz for the 2800 (if it is a 2800).
I don't know if Athlons are, but I know my P4 is labeled... you might be able to literally look at the processor to see if it is, in fact, a 2800. Anyone know of a way to check with software (BIOS?) what he's running? I can't think of any right now. Then again, it is 12:30 in the morning, and I've had a long day...
Anyway, check both of those things. I suppose it would be a bit silly to get a new processor if you already had one that was just as fast.
