Have a 2100+ athlon but says 1500+ in system

I'm just installed Windows XP Pro on a PC Kit that I ordered from www.komplett.ie http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?action=info&p=25095&t=1614&l=3&AvdID=1&CatID=44&GrpID=4&s=pl

But when I go to Control Panel > System
it says it's a Athlon XP 1500+ 1.3 ghz and not a 2100+ 1.73 ghz.
Did I do something wrong?

Go into your bios, you'll prolly have to hit del for f1 on startup.
When in there look for frequency settings. You should see that the fsb of your chip is set at 100mhz, increase this to 133 and you should be all sorted, dont go touching the mulipyer of your chip tho, just the fsb (front side bus).

Thanks alot, that worked!

Also, I saw that my CPU temperature or something was 47 C and the system temp was 40 C. Is this ok?

Seems ok, you proably dont have intake/outake fans in your case so it looks like a predictable temp for your system. Dont get worried till you see that cpu temp hit the like of 70c+.
