So, my parents are visiting, and my dad has been complaining about his 500-odd MHz Celeron, and I offered to build him a new system if he paid for the parts. I ended up with an Asus A7V8X and an Athlon XP 2400+ processor.

Everything went just dandy, except the bios is reporting that it's an 1800+ processor. I haven't installed Winblows yet, I'm running a DOS-based burn-in overnight that it seems to be passing fine. So, question is, what might cause this? I haven't found much help in the Asus site, but will dig in more tomorrow.
