Can someone please tell me the manufacture recommended frequency jumpers for a 1.67 gigahertz AMD Athlon XP.

This will depend on the motherboard make and model. You'll need to read the motherboard and the CPU manuals to find correct jumper settings and BIOS speed/multipliers/core voltage.

this is the motherboard details but i can't anything about the right frequency settings in the manual.



Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. A7V333 REV 1.xx
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
BIOS: Award Software, Inc. ASUS A7V333 ACPI BIOS Revision 1006A

It must be there. Check all jumpers settings on the manual. Also, check your processor manual to see what is the correct speed/multipliers/voltages, as you can set the mobo jumpers and the BIOS properly.

where can i get information on cpu frequency i only have the motherboard manual which only tells you which jumpers set certain freqencies not the manufacture recommered cpu frequency.

We need to know the exact model of your processor. Please download and run Everest Home, under motherboard/processor and post its specs here. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/everest.html

this is the imformation on my cpu

CPU Properties
CPU Type AMD Athlon XP, 1666 MHz (12.5 x 133) 2000+
CPU Alias Palomino
CPU Stepping A5
Instruction Set x86, MMX, 3DNow!, SSE
L1 Code Cache 64 KB
L1 Data Cache 64 KB
L2 Cache 256 KB (On-Die, Full-Speed)

CPU Physical Info
Package Type 453 Pin PGA
Package Size 4.95 cm x 4.95 cm
Transistors 37.5 million
Process Technology 6Mi, 0.18 um, CMOS, Cu
Die Size 128 mm2
Core Voltage 1.75 V

This is the information you need:

Cpu clock: 133
Cpu ratio: 12.5 X
Cpu Vcore voltage: 1.75
I/O voltage: 1.60

As Everest shown, yours seems to be correctly set.

According to what you posted, your Front Side Bus on this board is maxed at 266 (the 133 megahertz) reference above. I build with the Asus A7V400, which maxes at 400FSB. So the three numbers after the "V" in the model number refers to the maximum Front Side Bus that the board will run at. That is why I am a little confused why your manual would tell you that this maxes at 133/266FSB (?). I would think that it would go up to a 333FSB setting, IF your processor will support this high a setting. So you must know what default setting your processor runs at. I am pretty sure that your Palomino is set at 133/266FSB. So that means that your board may support a faster processor, but will work fine at 266.
I just built a Barton core xp2000 unit, that chip runs at 2.0 GHz but only at 133/266FSB.

This is a good, fast, very stable board. No bells and whistles, but a solid workhorse at a low price. You may have trouble installing the USB drivers on this board, if you do post back and I will clue you in.

The DIP switches are very easy to use, and there is a simple diagram in the manual showing you the various positions for the 5 DIP switches. It's nice that Asus uses a row of little switches instead of the old-fashioned jumpers. I believe that board comes from the factory set at 100, and you can set it up to 133 following the diagram in the manual.

Hope I helped, post back with how its going.

You must set your motherboard jumpers/dipswitches as defined on the motherboard's manual and processor specs, not only playing around with them.

Restart from scratch and check them twice using the shipped manual.
