It would seems to me that you may  need to go in to the bios and change the
clock settings for your board to allow the CPU to run at full speed.
Consult the documentation for your m/b or go to their website for more
information.

>Just tried out a new CPU in my rig - it's an AMD 2500+ with the new 'Barton'

>So I ran the SiSoftSandra CPU test and got 5032 Dhrystones and 2525

>By this time I was planning to return the 2500+ to the wholesaler.
