These are the specs
Chieftec server case with 450w foxcon
Asus A7N8X deluxe rev 2
AMD 2500+ Barton retail
(2) 256 xms corsair twinx 3200llpt

Finally got everything running and win xp loaded with the other software. This is my first build. I noticed that it says the processor is at 1.09 ghz. What do I need to change in the bios to get it running where it should be?

Have a look in the BIOS and make sure that the FSB is set at 166MHz.

333 = 166x2 (DDR doubles the data rate of the FSB)
The REAL FSB is only 166 |

As long as he keeps the multiplier down (so that he is still running at 1.83ghz) he won't have stability issues with that mobo.
And hey, 2500+ on stock voltage are breaking 2200Mhz... so who knows, it may even be stable at 11x and 200Mhz FSB. | |
