Hi...

I have an N2U400-A ECS EliteGroup board, with an Athlon 2500+ (1.8GhZ) cpu,
and 512 MB memory modules in DIMM1 and DIMM2.

When I ran Belarc Advisor it shows a 1.10GhZ cpu and memory Slot 'A0' empty,
Slot 'A1' 512 MB and Slot 'A2' 512 MB.

It seems logical that DIMM1 should read as 'A0', DIMM2 as 'A1' and so on. So
why would Belarc Advisor show the above memory configuration, and why would
the cpu speed be wrong?

quite often there is a jumper to change. i looked at the pdf manual
and there doesn’t seem to be one. you probably will have to enter the
bios and load the optimal settings, then save and exit. to do that
tapping the delete key at the beginning of the first post screen
should get you there.

your just running with a 100fsb at default setting. optimal should set
it to 166fsb.

here’s a nice little program that will also show cpu and ram specs.

That's a nice little program...and it's showing me the same results as
Belarc!

Thanks for the link.

PS: I'm a little embarrassed...I reset my bios a while back while having
some problems, and forgot to re-adjust those CPU settings. It's back where
it's supposed to be now.

I'm still puzzled about the memory position results. The manual for my
N2U400-A board shows the slots as DIMM1, 2, 3, with 1 closest to the CPU. I
had memory in 1 and 2. I figured maybe they were mis-marked, so I moved the
memory from 1 to 3 and ran Belarc again. Now it shows slot 2 as empty! My
hair is beginning to hurt from puzzling about this.
