First you need to know what processor you have. Check the OPN ( ordering part numbers )

This might help:

AX is Model 6, Palomino

AXDA could be a Model 8 Thoroughbred
or
AXDA could be a Model 10 Barton

The next four digits are the model # ( example, yours should be 2600 )

the next digit should be a "D" for desktop processor

the next is the voltage
model 8 "L" = 1.50 V, "U" = 1.60 V, "K" = 1.65 V
model 10 "K" = 1.65 V

the next is die temp model 8 "T" = 90C, "V" = 85C
model 10 "V" = 85C

the next is L2 Cache Size
model 8 "3" = 256 Kbytes
model 10 "4" = 512 Kbytes

and finally the last should be FSB
model 8 "C" = 266, "D" = 333
model 10 "D" = 333, "E" = 400

AXDA2600DKV3D
would be AMD model 8 2600 desktop processor 1.65 V, 85C, 256 K L2 cache with 333 FSB.


Now here is the trick, an AMD 2600 does not run at 2600 MHz. There was a new naming convention which AMD began to use with the Athlons. Your processor's actual speed should be one of the following:


model 8 2600 at 2083 MHz ( 333 FSB ) or 2133 MHz ( 266 FSB )

model 10 2600 at 1917 MHz ( 333 FSB )

MSI suggests for a 333FSB you set the FSB to 166 and the ratio to AUTO.

Hope this helps
