WELCOME

the XP 2800's run default at 2.08Ghz...so it is running at correct speed...

If you could list your system specs...this will help us help you OC the system...please list what motherboard, ram, PSU, video card and cooling you are using...

the motherboard is good, howerver if you plan on overclocking much, the stock cooling will have to go-- the temperatures(when overclocked) will be way too high and will make your setup unstable


also the 2800+ is just the PR rating for the processor
since even though it has a lower frequency than a 2.8ghz P4, it still performs roughly equivelant


also what type of ram do you have?

Click to expand...

enough to start with...but done expect any heavy OC's with that PSU...it wont handle the load of a high OC...
