Sweevo 0 Posted January 28, 2000 Can anyone explain why my AMD K6-2 500 shows up as running at 251Mhz in both System Information and alot of other small utilities that are supposed to display the running speed. I've downloaded a util from AMD and that shows that the processor speed is 502MHz - so now I'm really confused - it seems that all the programs are showed the processor as running at half speed - has anyone got any suggestions?

jonny 0 Posted January 29, 2000 It might be that you need to update your bios. Ive seen alot of motherboards that need to be flashed on 450 and up. Share this post Link to post
Sweevo 0 Posted January 29, 2000 Thanks Jonny - I've tried that one with no sucess - it reported the same speed both before and after the update. When the machine boots, on the bios screen it does show that it's a 500Mhz K6-2, it Only seems to be Windows 2000 Pro that seems to think is a 251Mhz, so any other suggestions would be welcomed!
