Well you could always try switching the CPU. If another one does the same thing it's your computer/board, if yours does it in another computer (that wasn't already that slow) it's the CPU. |

He meant 866  So it's normally a 133MHz FSB with a 6.5x multiplier ...
And I thought Pentium III's never went below 450MHz (when sold anyway) ... weird how the FSB can underclock itself to 66MHz like this  |

Try reading it, it will say at least a model number somewhere on the board...
BTW: there is no such thing as a 833MHz P3... |

No, that's your CPU model. The motherboard is what the CPU is plugged on. Makers are Asus, Abit, etc... |

Intel Pentium III 833mhz, this what you mean?
But the system says it has only 433mhz, when I just powered down and checked the motherboard itself. |

No it hasnt been 433mhz never has bene because I used to be able to run SWG and L2 fine. Its a custom make. Made it myself. P3 833mhz, GeForce FX5600, 37gb HD. |

HyperHacker: I think prebuilt Gateways are F1... most real computers are delete.
But, with an older P3 board, it's probably not BIOS configurable...
Angel: I have a feeling it's been 433 the whole time. Tell us what motherboard make and model your PC has and we might be able to tell you how to set it to 133FSB instead of 66. |

Well that sounds like something seriously messed up. When the computer starts up, it should say something like 'Press F1 for setup' (it might be a different key), press that and check all the CPU Speed, bus, and other related settings. |

No. A blue screen did pop up once when I was trying to play Counter Strike and if im not mistaken that is when it probably started, I havent Overclocked my CPU . I have XP so I dont think it can BSOD me. |

I'm going to say that his bus changed from 133 (PIII default) to 66 (Celeron default).

Right now it says Pentium 433mhz, but it used to say 866mhz. Its a PIII |

What type of CPU do you have, Pentium 2, Pentium 3, Athlon, Duron, Celeron?
What does it say when your PC boots up (The BIOS screen) |

You're trying to create the
1) dumbest
2) most confusing
3) most absurd
thread ever? Pick 2 of 3. |

what are you talking about? where are you getting these numbers. RAM is measured in MB not MHz (which is the measurement for CPU speed) |
