Hi, i have brought a intel pentium 4, 3ghz processor and ive used a program called Sandra witch tells me about my hardware and stuff.
anyway, it tells me that the...
Model - Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3GHz
Speed - 1.5Ghz
and then threes afew other things....then
Maximum Speed - 3GHz 4x 200MHz (800MHz).
so i was wondering how i can set the speed to 3GHz
i don't think that is overlocking the processor tho...bcuz the maxium speed is 3ghz, you know what i mean? =D
Anyway. below that is says Co-prosseser (FPU)
and the speed says 1.5 GHz.
anywho, dont say to overclock it in the bios b4 its a dell and it impossible to do it to this computer :-(, unless theres some hidden blanked out botton i can press or somthing to hack into it lol.
anyway, thanks is advance =DHow to Change my CPU Speed?Lol, P4 3GHz @ 15 HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA, i think you mean P4 3GHz W/ HT. yes, it eans that it is running at 3.0GHz, its just saying the speed per core. and since no P4's are multicored, it just splits up the total, so 1.5GHz per task, or 3.0GHz on 1 Task. :DHow to Change my CPU Speed?Your P4 may be using Speedstep.It cuts the cpu speed when it is not needed.It works very fast and you probably won't get any performance increas by disabling it.
Ensure Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is enabled in your BIOS. For Intel desktop boards, the Intel SpeedStep Technology option is under the %26quot;Power%26quot; tab and labeled %26quot;EIST.%26quot; Ensure it is set to %26quot;Enabled.%26quot;
(So set EIST to disabled to turn Speedstep off)
If you go into the Power Applet in Control Panel and select the Always On option it will disable Speed Step. Right click your desktop %26gt; Click properties %26gt; Click Screen Saver %26gt; Power button %26gt; Change the Power Scheme to always on.
FPU
That is the integrated math coprocessor.It's not your CPU speed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoprocessorHow to Change my CPU Speed?This is perfectly normal and there is nothing to fix. Your CPU's top speed is 3GHz, but it does not run at 3GHz when there is nothing for it to do. This would waste power, reduce the CPU's life, and increase the chance that it would need to throttle to avoid overheating.
