Well... it shows up as a 1.8 here too... so its not seeing the 2.8.

I just checked the boot again and noticed...

When I first boot up the info that shows up says " Intel Pentium 4 2.80 (1866 Mhz)

Though under system in control panel it shows:

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80Ghz
1.87 Ghz


So I mean I don't know for sure, but maybe its not just XP reading it wrong? *shrug* Its strange.

Thanks for all the help you have given ih8bills.

Maybe it's a BIOS issue, too... strange-- I'll poke around when I have a sec or 2

Thanks, I really do appreciate the help.

Sorry for the late response, had a really busy couple of days and didn't have much time at all on the computer.

Me either... LOL
