i have a old old laptop (HP omnibook 4150) that uses a GenuineIntel x86 Family 6 model 8 Stepping CPU, which i believe is suppose to yield 600Mhz, however i noticed my computer was running kinda slow so i ran program that detects my CPU speed, and it report my CPU speed to be '26', which i can only assume means 26MHZ... needless to say, i am in a fair bit of distress. Any hhelp on this matter would be appreciated, and i give you my thanks in advance
i believe that is only your multiplier setting if yoou take that and your clock setting, it should equal out to 600mhz im guessing your clock is around 25 or 26 too, if it was running at 26 mhz you wouldn't be able to run most of today's programs on it
It possible you're seeing a strange multiplyer frequency but I would highly doubt Intel set the chips multiplyer to over 23! (23x26=598). Try that program again and see what it yeilds as it could have been a momentary glitch.
yeah because the number is mostly set around 10-18 i guess, pretty odd for 26, unless your multiplier would be 23 and clock 26 yeah check again also a good program that can give you info about almost every aspect of your system is sisoftware sandra you can get a free limited version at sisoftware.com :good:
thx guyz... i went back and rechecked the CPU speed and it turned out a 29 :x: btw, the 'utility' i am using is not really a performance or tweak utility, its really just the system checker for a game i installed on my comp :O the checker claims my CPU speed is 29 (the required is listed as 350), i was wondering if there is any possible occurence that could cause my CPU speed to go down? if so is there any way to fix it? once again, thx in advance for any help (in case i forget later)
thanks guyz... i went back and rechecked the CPU speed and it turned out a 29 :x: by the way, the 'utility' i am using is not really a performance or tweak utility, its really just the system checker for a game i installed on my comp :O the checker claims my CPU speed is 29 (the required is listed as 350), i was wondering if there is any possible occurence that could cause my CPU speed to go down? if so is there any way to fix it? once again, thanks in advance for any help (in case i forget later)
oops sorry for double post, something came up that said i shouldnt use shorthand so i thought that i had to go back and correct it and repost...
if it might help to see your multiplier and clock settings by downloading the program sisoftware sandra, this program will show you the definite settings of almost every aspect of your system, and its very reliable sisoftware sandra (free version) from sisoftware.com
Yea Windows won't boot on a 29 MHz system. Palm OS won't even boot on that. Unless you're running DOS x then you're getting an improper reading. Try a different util, the one you're using is probably screwed up.
alright i downloaded the sis sandra and it reports my CPU speed to be 498mhz (phew) but i was wondering, my performance is still pretty bad (i have trouble running counter strike even) and i believe my chip is suppose to be running at 600 mhz... is there anything that could be making my computer slow? once again thanks in advance
alot of registry errors or spyware or viruses can put some load on the speed registry mechanic adaware SE personal microsoft antispyware beta AVG free edition those are really good programs for free that can fix alot of errors, also i'd recommend to defrag once in a while via right click my computer, manage, defragment
going by the specs of that laptop CS is running slow cause its only got 64MB RAM, celeron 500 and 8MB of VRAM. Upgrade maannnnn!
