After setting my multiplier to 13x and leaving my FSB at 133, when I restart, it shows my CPU as Athlon XP 2000+ and my multiplier at 12.5x, and I verified that with CPUID once windows was loaded. Restarted again and went into BIOS and it shows my multiplier as 13x there, as I originally set it. So, why is it posting at 12.5x instead of 13x?
 
For some reason I do not know why certain motherboard-cpu combinations do that.
Some when you set them to 12.5 they run at 13 others when set at 13 run at 12.5.
