There appears to be some glitch in the motherboard. I think you're right. I went poking around in the bios of the computer in question that has the same chip and the same symptoms. The motherboard is an ECS. CPU type Athlon CPU speed 100/100 mhz Multiplier factor 7.5x CPU Frequency 133mhz Dram Frequency 133mhz Only the cpu speed is configurable. I changed it to 133/133. Now startup reports the cpu as 1000mhz. BTW the cpu reported temperature went up 7c as a result, from 32c to 39c. I recall that below 50 is fine for these high heat output Thunderbirds. 55c is pushing the limit of safety. I wonder if the settings were changed automatically by the motherboard due to the higher temperatures over the summer? I can think of no other explanation, other than operator delusion. That is, maybe it always reported 750mhz, and was just mixed up with another computer. Esteban
