I have installed a Biostar M7NCD motheboard with an Athlon XP-M 3000+ CPU. To load Window XP I had to set to FSB at 133 and memory at auto and got windows to install.

Unfortunately the CPU is reported as an "Athlon XP mobile 800MHZ". Obviously this is incorrect for a 2.2 GHZ processor.

Can anyone please help suggesting some FSB and Memory settings that would more correct.

This motherboard may not be compatible with mobile Athlons.

Also, powerNOW may be enabled, since mobile Athlons are designed to vary in CPU speed for conserving battery power.
