Athlon 1333 runs only 1000 mhz ??? help

Are you sure that the processor is a 1333MHz, and not a 1333+, which WOULD run at 1.0GHz.

An Athlon XP 1333+?
No such CPU. The slowest in the XP series was the 1500 (which defaulted to
1333 MHz).
That's why I'm sure.

He never said that it was an Athlon XP, it could be a plain athlon, or or an athlon thunderbird.

That's the point. There is no such thing as a "plain Athlon" (topped out at
1000 MHz, IIRC) or "Athlon Thunderbird" (topped out at 1400 MHz) that is
not designated for its actual speed. The OP asked about his "AMD Athlon
1333", which is supposed to run at 1333 MHz. It's a common beginner's
mistake to start up a PC for the first time with the motherboard FSB left at
default (100 MHz), thus running the OP's CPU at 1000 MHz (default multiplier
= 10 x 100 MHz = 1000 MHz). The simple (and obvious) fix is to set the FSB
to 133 MHz, thus running the CPU at its design spec: multiplier = 10, FSB =
133 MHz.
Now that you've had your gratuitous history lesson, perhaps you'll realize
that both your comments were implausible and inaccurate.

OK, well no matter what, a 100 MHz FSB is to slow to be anything that we are talking about, so for the poster, go ahead, check your motherboard, if it is not already running at 133 FSB, set it to do so. But be careful, because if you have to set it by way of jumpers on the motherboard, some manufacturers will label them as 66, 100, and 133 MHz. But in the chip, the frequency gets doubled, thus; 66=133, 100=200, and 133=266. So do a little research into your processor, and motherboard, mine shows that the Thunderbird 1.33 GHz, has a 266 FSB, but as I said, please check everything! A 133 MHz FSB processor set to 133 FSB on the motherboard, may double it, resulting in one
hot, and temporairlly non-working processor.

Wait... doubled *and* multiplied by 10 in the chip? I think the doubling
applies to DDR RAM, not to the CPU.

I have a Thunderbird 900.
My old ASUS A7V133 board ran at:
9 x 100 = 900 for the CPU
1 x 100 = 100 _OR_ 1.33 x 100 = 133 for the RAM

My newer Abit NF7 board runs at:
9 x 100 = 900 for the CPU
2 x 100 = 200 for the DDR RAM
