1.83
As for the reading being 1885 where are you getting this reading bios, mbms, sandra, etc etc etc.

Thx for answering
Yep, the reading i get is 1.85 just in properties of my computer in windows XP

This might seem alittle funny but right now I'am running @ 1330 and my system says its 1.34. For some reason no matter what i set it to in bios the reading on the desktop is always about 10mhz higher. I use wcpuid, sandra, 3dmark, prime, cpuz, cpucool, and pcmark all show the speed of my cpu to be allitle higher then what it is set @ in bios.

Well you're probably setting it to something like 133 x 10 in the bios, but the bus speed will actually be something like 133.7 or so.

all cpus tend to do that...

its not the cpu, its the mobo, i think. the nforce2's oc the fsb slightly. My old msi kt266a had spot on bus speed. personally i would like it if i could figure out a way to make the bus speed on my cpu 400.00 and not 400.91, i like exact numbers, lol.

Yeah it's up to the motherboard manufacturer, not the chipset or the cpu. Some of them try to cheat a bit and actually set the bus speed to 1mhz or so over what you set it in the bios at.
