Anyone help please..???
I have just setup a new M/board (Abit AT7-MAX2) & CPU (amd 2.2)
when it starts to boot at the first screen it shows the cpu as AMD 2200+ ( i gues thats right 2.2) but then when i go into system prop... it says
********************************
AMD Athlon(tm)XP 2200+
1.80GHz
********************************
does this meen im running at 1.8 .????

The 2200 is the performance rating...i.e. what it is compared to an intel cpu.  1.8 is the actual speed.

Yes you can overclock it with no probs(to a certain extent lol), there are heaps of sites out there with guides to O/C\'ing, just type it into google and off you go, but i have to recomend you get an extra fan for your system(maby 2 if set up correctly) to keep the heat down if your overclocking.
