I'd suspect either improper bios settings, or mb jumpers as it's 
indicating a 1500+.  Sure you didn't get sold the wrong processor?? 
Here's my 2400+:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 6
model           : 8
model name      : AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2400+
stepping        : 1
cpu MHz         : 1990.272
cache size      : 256 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 1
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge 
mca cmov

bogomips        : 3971.48
