I just got a new motherboard, a DFI NF3 250-AL. I have an AMD 3400+ XP 64bit cpu that was recognized fine on my old board but for some reason it shows as an AMD engineering Sample 00 on this board. When I go into control panel, System, it shows that the CPU is only bing run at 800mhz. I have already checked for bios updates and there arne't any.

email DFI tech support about this. You have made sure this board supports that CPU to begin with?

Yes it supports the CPU. I have already emailed DFI, waiting on a response.

Let us know, if it takes them too long (more than 2 weeks) we'll fire a few emails there as well...

I've seen this behaviour several time on other forums, it seems the 3400+ is a C0 stepping and that's not implemented in all board because they are very rare.

Still waiting on a reply from DFI. I installed the CPU in another DFI board and it does the same thing. In any other board that I have tried though, it recognizes it as the CPU it is.
