2100+, I would think.

The Athlon XP 2100+ runs at 1.73GHz, on a 266MHz front-side bus (FSB),
and the 1500+ report is most likely a result of a BIOS in need of
updating...


The 1500+ ran at 1.33GHz on the same 266FSB, but I can't see the BIOS
reporting a higher CPU and not the lower.

If they're the latest BIOS, and auto-detecting, I'd go with the newer
board's assessment.

Of course, a quick run of SysBench 0.9.5 and some numbers would tell
you for sure.
