Does a Barton core XP1900+ exist?

[Gothic Draconia]

Hi All,

It's not often i ask for help from anyone but i need to now.

I received a second hand CPU today and i'm having a few problems.

It is meant to be an Athlon XP 2500 Barton but it shows as an XP1900+ in the POST screen. Setting it to the Barton 2500 speeds results in a non-boot so i'm puzzled. I thought Barton cores were 2500+, 2800+, 3000+ and 3200+ only?

The motherboard i'm using is a Soltek N-Force 2 Ultra 400 - SL-75FRN2 RL. It has the most recent BIOS (D2.0) loaded. I have reset the BIOS as well as reloading v2.0 BIOS to no avail.

Do any Barton cored 1900+ CPUs exist?

TIA

I have already downloaded the most recent version of CPU-Z as it has been a great help in the past. LOL

It states the CPU is Barton cored but is an XP1900. Does the app. read this information from the BIOS or does it read ir directly from the core?

TIA
