Re: Underclocking?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



You would do well to to determine EXACTLY what you have before adjusting. You DON'T have a 1.5 MHz processor (the first PC's were 4.77 MHz), and if you meant 1.5 GHz then you are already underclocking at 1.3 GHz. The MANUAL setting should allow tweaking, BUT first make VERY, VERY sure what processor you have AND the ACTUAL frequency its supposed to run at, NOT the "equivalent speed" or other such advertising nomenclature, but the true operating frequency. AMD or INTEL web sites would be a good place to read up, depending on your processor.

The setting in my bios is CPU SPEED.?
5 settings:

MANUAL
1300MHz --setting is here--
1733MHz
2167MHz
2600MHz
I believe my system is a 1.5MHz.

Chkdsk from xp's recovery console continues to find errors
in the volume when I use the /p switch. For more info on my
dilemma please refer to the threads in: Chkdsk Continues to Find Errors,
in this newsgroup.
So far I've changed my hard drive and the next idea is my mother board.
One thing I haven't tried: Someone suggested underclocking.
I know this setting is in my bios but what setting, exactly am I looking
for??
Please elaborate.



Look in the bios for CPU setup...

you won't do any harm to try a slower clock speed...

but familiarize yourself with the bios reset jumper and how to use it
