Hi,

I succesfully overclocked a barton 2500+ at Fsb200*11 with a
3200+ rating.
Anyway raising the multiplier and getting 12 or 12.5 the rating
shows 1400+,or 2000+ and so on.
Why?

I have an epox 8krda3+ motherboard.
 
You're not alone. My A7N8X with bios 6 does similar things. Below a certain speed, it says the actual speed. At a certin speed or two, it says the PR rating. Then, above that speed, you're back to actual speed. I don't pay it much mind. Kind of like my wife when I'm driving... :D

The PR is some kind of combo of Cache+FSB+MHZ. Ignore it. My Epox 8RDA does the same but below it says the actual speed. Also sometime the PR ratings are suto genereated using failed algoritms. On a board I have it sees a Applebred 1600 as a Athlon XP 1900+. I don't know how they figured that out.
