Having used those programs linked to by helpful ScoobyNetters yesterday, I have discovered that I have been short changed [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Bought my Athlon from a computer fair last year from a company that also has a shop. The processor was sold to me as having a 266Mhz FSB and also bears a sticker saying that too. But after having problems with bios settings and looking up the code printed on the CPU I have discovered that is is actually 200Mhz FSB.

Anyone else been robbed like this ?

 

sux for you athlon 1200 isnt it? wanna sell it? But as far as price goes u havent been done, the 200fsb ones are rare now, n is actually slightly more expensive than the 266fsb version. Of course the performance will be slightly less, but only if youre using PC2100 ram and a fsb133 mobo.

 

Well thats okay then

Only using PC133 ram not DDR. Mobo supports it, but like you say, probably wouldn't make much difference anyway.

Yep its a 1.2Ghz - Make me an offer if you want it

Thinking of going for an AthlonXP

 

cool how old is it? £30 or £40 plus heatsink n fan? +p&p as well.

 

Hmmm. I'll have a think mate. Need to investigate prices for a new CPU first

 

Any official docs / receipts? Is the place still in existence?

 

 

Chris - Probably have, but it was early last year I think so a bit late to complain now.

Bioforger - Why

 

what place or am i bein nosey?

 

Where I bought the CPU

 

DOWH!
