CPU aint doing what it should be doing!

ando

I'm trying to get 'GTR FIA GT racing' to work on my system, but at the moment GTR says my system is below minimum specs. I think the problem is my CPU. Its a AMD Athlon Xp2500+. The clock speed of it is 1883mhz (1.8GHz) but my PC says its 1090mhz (1.09Ghz) when I right click on My Computer and goto Properties.

This is the spec of my system:

Asus A7N8X motherboard
AMD Athlon XP2500+ 1.833 GHz
1.5 Gigs or RAM
Radeon 9800 graphics card
XP Pro

Can anyone think why my PC picks up the 1.8Ghz chip as 1.09Ghz? and anyway around it?

I think you need to go into your bios (hit delete when you turn on your pc)

Your 'CPU FSB' or 'external frequency' should be set to 166 i think. I'm guessing its set to default of 100.

Your multiplier should be 11

11 x 166 = 1.83

Download CPUZ and run it, it'll scan your system and tell you exactly what's in it, what speeds, multiplyers etc everythings running at. It's possible that it's a bug in the game causing it to not detect your CPU properly, if this is the case their own forums would most likely have details of a fix.
