My CPU doesn't get recognised.

I got a Socket A CPU XP 3000 in the BIOS it comes up as AMD 1300.
I got a Gigabyte 7400 Pro board.

I changed the FSB to 133mhz in the BIOS but it didn't make a difference?

What do I need to do in the BIOS to get it up to XP 3000?

Tried a CMOS reset, need a BIOS upgrade.

Not tried a CMOS setup but it looks like it was reset before I got it working.
BIOS looks old from 2003 is there a simple guide to set this up? I can do that bios live thing in windows though.

how do you know this?
you got the same setup?

I will try updating BIOS through OS first.

Depending on the CPU the FSB will need to be either 166Mhz or 200Mhz for an XP3000

Clockspeed should be 2166Mhz (166 AXDA3000DKV4D) or 2100Mhz (200 AXDA3000DKV4E)

sounds as if you need to increase the FSB if the board will take it.

I didn't see a 200mhz option on my board
could a BIOS upgrade get me to see it?
