I have the MSI KT3 Ultra 2 mobo and the XP2600+ CPU. Is there any reason as to why it registers it as the XP2500+? The multiplier is default at 11.5 and FSB set at 168.5. I have the most recent bios updated. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

there are 3 x xp 2600



AXDA2600DKV3C 2600+ 2133MHz 16x

AXDA2600DKV3D 2600+ 2083MHz 12.5x

AXDA2600DKV4D 2600+ 1917MHz 11.5x

try with multiplier at auto and fsb 100 this will tell what one you have

it is the 333mhz cpu (AXDA2600DKV4D) I updated the latest bios before...unless there is a problem with the bios itself. I will try again. To the one who said it only supports a xp2200+.....with a bios update it is suppose to support up to the xp3000+. Will let ya'z know if it will register as the 2600+. Thanks
