Question about amd

[Tarkus]

I have an amd athlon xp 3000+, wich is suposed to have 333 bus speed (something like this), right??

but the fact is, it's only running at 166. i saw this with nero (some tool it had), wich gives me this kind of information.

so, my question is, can i up the speed to it's 333 normal, and if i can, is it safe to do this??

cheers

PS- hope i was clear about this

166=333mhz by amd terms. You are running at 333mhz fsb according to amd, 133=233mhz, if you are wondering.

that so?? i thought the bus would be the same as in pentium... especially the amd athlon xp 3200+ running at 400 instead of 333.. you sure about this??

EDIT- you problably are, i just need some more comforting..

Your Athlon is running like it should.
The base clock frequencies are 100MHz, 133MHz, 166MHz, and 200MHz for any Athlon or Pentium.
Athlon XP's uses a doubled pumped bus for their FSB which means 133x2=266, 166MHzx2=333, or 200x2=400 FSB.
Pentium 4's use a quad pumped FSB which means 100MHzx4=400, 133MHzx4=533, or 200MHzx4=800 FSB.
It's a rating, not an actual speed. FYI

Athlon 64's don't use a bus but use a Hypertransport Link. The base clock is 200MHz though. It's rated for (200x4) 800 up and 800 down or (200x5) 1000 up and 1000 down. Hypertransport can send data up and down at the same time (Full-Duplex) unlike the Front Side Bus which sends data only one way at a time (Half-Duplex).

i was expecting an answer from you to be sure!!

EDIT- holy sh*t i always learn from your posts here in the techies!
