[TriLUG] More speed problems (Athlon XP 2200+)

Well, I received the replacement motherboard from my earlier question
(about the XP 2200+ that was seen as a 1500+). I popped it in, moved the
CPU over, and in the process while the heatsink was off I read the ID on
the chip itself and confirmed it was a 2200+.  

BUT... it still is being seen as a 1500+. It's not strictly a linux/kernel
issue, because on bootup the BIOS reports it as a 1500+, so something's
screwy elsewhere. Can someone with more hardware experience point me
toward what I should try next?

The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7VAX which is supposed to be able to
handle a 2200+ and above.

Thanks-
ap
