I used a usb flash stick to update the bios, I booted from the flash stick and ran the update tool ezflash from ASUS. Regards, Graham

I did update the bios, which DID NOT resolve my problem. This is why I posted the message originally, Core speed wrong. I like YOU thought that the bios should automatically set the multipliers, but it DIDN'T. Just thought that I would clarify this point. Regards, Graham

Hi, I fixed my problem by going into the bios and adjusting the clock multipliers on the cpu. (Bus Speed 333 multiplier *9) I downloaded CPUID and used this to determine my core speed before and after the change. I did not have to adjust the CPU clock multipliers for my previous chip (P4 3gig socket 775) and this is why I was confused when my new cpu was reporting the wrong core speed. So I suppose I was a bit daft not checking this first. Thanks for your replies to my query, Thank you also for your explanation as to why my post was unanswered for so long, I will continue to use this site as and when the need arises and will also monitor the posts and offer any help I can. Regards, Graham

Thanks for your help, I have resolved the problem now
