Overclocking/SFF Mobo woes
 

OK, got my brand spankin new 3000+ Mobile Barton today. Slapped it in my Biostar IDEQ 200V (went mobile as this thing sucks to cool, but the portability is a must) and boot it. It's showing me a 995 MHZ Barton :(

The problem is, my board is seeing the chip as a 6x mult, when in reality, I believe it is supposed to be 16.5 (133*16.5~2.2GHZ). My BIOS has no visible way of adjusting this.

The biostar website here tells me nothing about mults, nor does the manual here. Is there a way to hardcode the mult into this chip? Has anyone had experience with one of these f***ing boxes?

Help please!

It sounds like the FSB jumper on your motherboard isn't on the correct setting. There may or may not be a small jumper on your motherboard to change the FSB. I'd check it. If it's at 100 or 133, then it's wrong...change it to 166. This has happened to a bunch of people I know. Their Athlon XPs were reading as 1 GHz instead of 1.8, 2.0 GHz, etc. They flipped it to the correct FSB jumper on the motherboard and it read it fine.

Nope, the jumper is set on 166, however the chip is designed to run at 133. With a mobile XP that pumps out only 35W, I was hoping to have it run overclocked. At any rate, the FSB is fine, my chip is reading as a 995MHz with a 166 bus and a 6.0 multiplier. The correct setting would be a 166 bus and a 16.5 multiplier.
