[pvnarc]

i have a 2600+ 266 fsb and my motherboard will only recognize it as a 2000+, i have a msi km4am-l micro atx motherboard more information can be found here. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=KM4AM-L

any ideas?

your multi is probably at 12.5 go into bios and change to 16 to get 2.13GHz
it is most likely the first item in your bios. If not your memory is probably set low. if so do the same thing.
good luck

MHz speed = FSB x multiplier = 133 x 16 for your 266 T-Bred 2600+

Multipliers are in the right column here:

Run GCPUID (my sig) and look at the CPU speed. If its 2133MHz as C6 said (133x16) then its just a naming issue and you shouldn't be worried about it. Also post a screenshot of GCPUID

On that board I beleive you will have to change the jumper settings to 266, these jumpers are located in the lower right hand corner, check the manual for the specific jumper positions. There should be three jumpers to set your fsb.
