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.

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
