XP will not install at correct speed

[NakaDashi]

I recently built 2 computers, one with SOYO KT333 Dragon Lite with an AMD AthlonXP 2000+ and another (mine) with the same motherboard, but the Ultra Platinum edition MoBo and AMD 2100+. All other components are new as well including a namebrand 256Mb DDR333 stick of RAM and UltraATA/133 60Gb Maxtor HD. Both have TDK VeloCD burners as the primary CD-ROM (one at 16x the other at 24x) and neither one would allow me to install Windows XP at the correct clockspeed.
When I try to install XP from CD it tells me that there is an error in the txtsetup.sif file or something to that effect and will not run the setup until I flash BIOS which sets my CPU clockspeed to 100MHz and my CPUs to AMD1500+. Other than the clockspeed... the computer will run correctly.

:mad: I know you guys understand that its one thing to have the comp limit your overclocking ability... and quite another to have it running at 3/4 speed forever.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks:D

how are your memory timing set to?
try droping them down a notch and running the CPU's at stock speed

My computer runs correctly when the frontside bus is set to 100MHz and DRAM Clock set at "By Speed" (CPU Ratio is Auto)
It will boot to BIOS at 133MHz FSB speed but not to WinXP.

When I change the FSB to 133 XP gives me different errors such as:

"Load needed DLLs for HAL" or that the ntoskrnl.exe file needs to be reinstalled.

also, when I try to boot from CD to reinstall at the correct FSB setting, the CD (same system disk used to install at 100MHz FSB) checks my hardware and reports that "line ____ in file \i386\txtsetup.sif is incorrect" and will not boot from CD.

When my FSB is reset to 100, all is good with both OS and CD Boot/Install.

I have tried setting my DRAM clock to 100 and CPU FSB to 133 and get the same errors.

P.S. The CPU runs at approx. 42*Celsius at 100MHzFSB setting with CHA temp at 27*C (I haven't checked this for 133MHz)
