54458	2002-06-15 04:11:00	Hi everyone, just got one snag with my pc. Ever since I got it, I was disappointed by it's poor performance in the memory sector. Now, it's not a slow computer (look below for specs) but the memory, as Gateway has told me should run at 133 MHz, for it's PC133. But my bios says it's running at 100MHz, and so does every other program. Is there a way of tweaking the memory speed? Thanks.

You don't have to be afraid of using it,as a reboot will clear any mistakes.When you have it right enter the information into wpcrset. pete	Guest (0)

54462	2002-06-16 05:20:00	In BIOS is there a way to adjust it? ie. when it displays RAM @ 100mhz(default), change it to 133? Please post back if this works.	Guest (0)
