got a barton 2600 chip just installed in my MSI KT4 ultra mobo. atm its set to 166/33 x12.5 and is reported as a 2600 @ 2.09Ghz Is this the correct setting? was my understanding that the baron clock is lower than the T-bred's and im sure this is what the T-bred B runs at.
maybe you got a tbred?
a barton should run at 11.5 * 166 i think, 1909mhz
Fire up CPUz and see what its reported as being
Got one of these myself, it should be 11.5 x 166, lower than a T-Bred that was stated above.
