New NF7-S2G system questions

Hi folks

Now I've got a replacement motherboard the system is up & running. 30 minutes (if that) to put in the new motherboard, nearly 3 hours of Windows updates - and that's on broadband!

It's running Win2K/SP4 plus all the fixes from Windows update, and the original BIOS. Sorry not quite sure which version the board came with, and at last (once DirectX 9 was installed) the drivers from the Abit CD.

Anyway, I have two questions:

1) The USB is shown as disabled. The disk suggests no drivers are needed once SP4 is installed - but it is!

2) The BIOS showed the chip speed as 1100, and MBM shows it as 2200MHz. It's a Barton XP3200+ - is this correct?

Problem #1 is more pressing as I need to be able to connect my printer, proper mouse and so on! Thankfully I never threw away my PS/2 mouse...

If you need more information please ask.

The Athlon 3200+ XP is 2.2ghz at Stock Speeds so that is correct.
The 3200+ rating is just for marketing reasons, on how it compares to a P4...

Thanks. I knew about the marketing puff, but not what the actual speed was, so all is well. My LAN works, the sound works, the USB works, and strangely I didn't have to load an SATA driver installing Win2K - but that works as well.
