hold down the DEL button during start up to access the BIOS.
go to the BIOS page with CPU info & depending on the BIOS type it should say the cpu speed ie 1800mhz.
Change this to 2000mhz. Check that the FSB speed is set to 133/266 & then exit saving changes.

As said above, just try changing the FSB speed to 133 first, save changes and restart. You'll probably find it's set to 100 at the moment.
Should come up 2400 when you restart.

Easy tiger . . . go remove the heatsink, wipe away the gloop and enter the code on the top here to find out if you have what you paid for.
It should be pretty clear from the code on the top. ie. AX2100DMT3C is a 2100 Athlon.
