Yes it goes down to the default, safe, Front Side Bus for your mother board. It my case that's 100mhz and therefor when this happens my 2200+ turns into a 1500+ and my 2600+ turns into a 2200+ since the motherboard I use with it is 133mhz, and yea the fsb for it is 166mhz.

Now you should understand. If not then just change your fsb around to see the results. Like when I first install my two amds the both were running at the defualt speed. So of course it seems you only have a 1500+ and a 2200+ instead of a 2200+ and a 2600+.

I'm sure its going to stay this way for a very long time and it should. Even though I do think the first time around, when you first install the chip and turn on system. It should auto decect the correct fsb for you. But still reset to the save defualt level when something goes wrong.

Just my 2 cents.
