GP2: Underclocking!

by Pekka Kumar » Mon, 29 Jul 1996 04:00:00

I was wondering why GP2 appeared to run a little bit slower on my new
P133, than on a friend's P120. Both PC's have about equally performing
graphics cards.

I started gp2 with the log:on option and found out the following:
Speed (c.f. DX2-66): 193
Same values have been reported in r.a.s by P100 owners!

Well then it was time to remove the cover of my PC and take a look inside.
The m/b jumper that selects the CPU clock speed was set in the wrong
position, 1.5x instead of 2x! Aarrgghh...It seems that I've been doing
some serious underclocking.

Tomorrow I'm gonna have a chat with the PC dealer...

You never know when you buy a clone PC... It makes me wonder... I'm
propably not the only one out there...
