Bt are doubling our broadband speed on 17th February and they're not going to charge us any more for it.

I have seen an incredible difference since I switched from IE & OE to Firefox and Thunderbird. Previously, I ran ad-aware every night and picked up about half a dozen adfleas. I just ran ad-aware last night for the first time in about 7 days, and the app found exactly one flea.

Amy, the beads thing ran fine under OSX (10.3.7) with both Safari and Firefox doing it. The machine does have a full version of flash and director on (they're one lot of the Apple teaching machines we've got 
)

Thanks for the advice on the spyware bits, I hope to put together a CD of the current releases to use when I go down to my parents this weekend.
I saw this elsewhere, I think he's right but it will be some time before it becomes apparent to most people.

I sent the link to the beads, plus some other stuff, off to this guy who wanted someone to code his geography app - I *am* the ant he's looking for, even if he doesn't know it yet. I haven't heard anything back yet but some staff are off on holiday atm.
I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for your help.

OK, I know I am a geek and but, sometimes even geeks get stumped.
I just bought a new 2.8GHz processor. The problem is, it is only registering as a 1.2GHz. I have checked everything I know in BIOS i.e. The multiplier, FSB, etc. I cannot get it to the speed it is supposed to be. I have also tried overclocking and can get it to 1.5GHz.
The mobo is supposed to support all AMD Duron/Athlon chips between 950MHz and 3.2GHz.
Any ideas?

have you tried the reset switch on the mother board,<generly moveing pin when machine switched of then moveing it back straight awaybefore you switch it on) then booting back into the bios and configering (you might need to load dianostic from cd with motherboard)
does the mother board support that size prossesor ?

I have had to clear the CMOS several times because of changing various BIOS settings.
The motherboard:
"Supports Socket A (Socket-462) for AMD Athlon/Athlon XP/Duron processors."
"Supports Athlon XP 1500+ to 3200+ or higher speed."
That in quotes is directly from the mobo manual.
In effect, I have RTFM.

BTW, I have the Athlon XP 2800+, it should be supported.

Only other thing that springs to mind is plugging a reformated or clean hard drive , or try booting up in linux to see if that gets it to reconize ,it .
Mind you i'm not a geek or any thing like that ,just tend to take all me computers to bits when i get a new one,(mind you still yet to take lap top to bits)

Check to see if your RAM is able to run at the needed bus speed. Might be a ram issue.

RAM is running at 400MHz, which is what it should be doing.

I am considering getting another mobo, that would definitely tell me what the problem component is, assuming it is the mobo or CPU.

After digging through MANY fora on the AMD site, I found the solution. When I was looking at and changing FSB speeds, I never used 166MHz. My CPU is now showing what it should be.
