Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Is 1800 mhz correct for a 2200+?
Since my 1900's are standard at 1600 mhz, it might be that your BIOS speed
should be 100 mhz faster. That is, 3,000 difference between AMD rating and BIOS
standard speed.

Find out what your standard speed should be from your computer dealer. In order
to get my two 1900's to run at standard speed, I had to use the non-default
(user selectable) BIOS settings. You may have the same situation.

If you want specific help, email me with your BIOS type (Award, Phoenix, etc.),
and your current settings for your CPU, Bus, memory, etc.

Please check your temp before we get the performance ramped up. Don't want to
damage anything. How cool you running?
