Title: CPU not recognised?

Can anybody enlighten me as to why a cpu would not be recognised?

Bought an XP2500 and put it in a Epox 8KRDA mobo but it is showing as unrecognised and purports to be a 1Gig chip :unsure: ....thought these were nearer 1.8Ghz?

FSB is set at 166, memory is pc2700, mobo supports 333fsb

My Barton XP-M 2500+ is recognised as a Duron weirdly enough. Using it in an Epox 8RDA+. Weird really, great CPU in a great motherboard.

I can tell ya it doesn't perform like a Duron ;)

Sweet :)

I got some rather nice RAM and took up my FSB instead.
