I'm not sure if this is a big problem but its keeping me on edge. I just formatted because I had some problems with opengl. I am on win2k.

I have a AMD XP 1800+ on a kti333 motherboard.
1024 ddr ram
gf3ti200

When I use moo.dll to show my stats I get the following

os[Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 3 (5.0 - 2195)] uptime[17m 43s] cpu[1-AMD , 1149MHz, 256KB] mem[Usage: 215/1024MB (21.00%)_[||--------]]

From my knowledge a AMD XP 1800+ is around 1544mhz why do I only get 1149 mhz in moo.dll

I also did CPU tests through mIRC and I get

[CPU test]-[ 1208.427368 Mhz ]

also when I boot up my comp, theres some text on the screen about ram and stuff. It says processor speed 1149mhz or something.

I was tampering with overclocking a few months ago, and my computer didn't want to boot up. When i took it to the shop they said it booted fine.

I do vaguely remember using moo.dll awhile ago and having my stat show 1544mhz instead of 1149.

Whats going on :O?

Yeah kevin is probably right, the problem most likely lies within your BIOS. Before you took it to the shop was the speed around or above what it should be for an 1800+?
