OK, about an 83MHz bus speed turning up as 95MHz!!!

OK, I might be the only one that finds this wacked but here's the deal. I have an AMD K6-2 processor 300MHz. The bus speed was 100MHz. OK, I put the clk mltpr from 3 to 3.5 to bring my speed up to 350MHz. Well I ran into a few problems cauz my cooling fan is worth sweet **** all. Anyways, I put the bus speed to 83MHz and the clk mltpr to 4 so that equals 332MHz (my mobo doesn't say it has a 95MHz bus speed) Ok, now when I booted up and went into Sandra Benchmark program, it says that my cpu is running at 332.493...MHz. Perfect that is what I want. But it said that my bus speed was 95Mhz. Is it possible that the bios or mobo change that itself or is sandra wrong? Does Sandra by SiSoft actually read the bus speed?

I've seen this happen when overclocking.

Sometimes the bios doesn't report the processor speed correctly. It doesn't really matter. You can just ignor it...

To get a second opinion about bus speed, try WcpuID. www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~nrklv/index_e.html (http://www2.tky.3web.ne.jp/~nrklv/index_e.html) >Free Software.

Also there you will find softFSB for setting bus speed on the fly, WcpuL2 for those who dare mess with L2 Latency, and some others.
