AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 
Clock Speed: 1.8 GHz
FSB Speed: 266 MHz

No wonder the speed your bios is reporting is bogus if youve got it set
to 100MHz FSB.

100MHz went out quite a long time ago, the latest fastest 32bit athlons
are 400MHz FSB.

if they are java based games then you need to go and download an RPM of
the Java J2SE from java.sun.com  its free, and includes the java plugin
required to make your browser work.
