I just got a 2500+ and installed it. I put the fsb at 166 and auto ratio, and sandra verifies a 333 fsb, but it also lists the processor at 2200+. How can this happen?

Look at the BIOS when the system starts...it will say what speed you are running at...right before it loads windows...

i'm not sure what version sandra is, but i know its fairly old. bios does list the processor as a 2200 also. boot screen passes too fast to see, but i do catch a 333 mhz dram clock. i should have mentioned it to start with, but only one of my 3 memory modules is working now. not sure if its related, but ...

use that little program CPUz or something like that, it's much more accurate.

this is a wierd one, i honestly don't know, it's got the speed and cache right, but the rating is off, i don't know why, but it shouldn't be a problem though, everything seems fine, just leave it

well maybe they sent me a bad processor or something. the box does say 2500+ though.
I just realized what timdog was saying. I did download the new version of sandra, and it still says 2200 but the clock speed is 1.84, maybe it gets this info from bios? i haven't updated my bios so it is fairly old.

alright, i think i found the problem. i went to the mb manufacturer website, and it looks like i need to update to the next version of the bios for proper 2500 operation. that would explain the wierd info though

Yep, your settings are just in spec.
2200+ was an XP (Palomino/Tbred) running at 1.8GHz, this is probably why your BIOS wasn't reporting your chip correctly.
