IIRC the 1800+ and 2400+ are just sales numbers, saying the Athlon runs "just like" and Intel running at that speed. The Athlon actually runs slower, tho, which is why the 2400+ really runs at 2000. Maybe your chip is really only running at 1500 but performs "just like" an 1800 Pentium? -- Thomas Cameron, RHCE, CNE, MCSE, MCT Cameron Technical Services, Inc.
