...Thoroughbred core CPU's, use a 13.5x mulitplier and a 133Mhz Front Side Bus (FSB).

What VAP's alluding to is : it seems likely your BIOS has not yet had these set, so it's currently on a default/safe 12x multiplier, and a 100Mhz FSB.

All BIOS options are fully detailed in you motherboard manual.
