| 13666 | 2001-06-05 22:31:00 | I have a Compaq Deskpro 2000 and would like to know how I determine the CPU speed. I wish to have a CD RW installed but it requires 166mhz. and want to know if I am up to it!! Any help appreciated |

| 13667 | 2001-06-05 23:10:00 | Hello Mary All of the Deskpro 2000 range should run a CDRW with no problem. However I think they all run Win2000 as the operating system if this is so, in your case, just make sure that the CDRW you are purchasing comes with drivers and software that is Win2000 compatable.

| 13669 | 2001-06-06 00:16:00 | Hi Mary, You can find out your PC's CPU speed at start-up, you would have seen a black and white screen when you start your computer with a whole lot of stuff that flicks by all to fast, when it comes up be ready and press 'Pause , Break' (above Pg Up, Pg Dn)its says CPU speed and all the other things you never need to know :) Press the Spacebar to continue loading Windows.

| 13672 | 2001-06-08 02:05:00 | If your pc is older, and the info dosn't scroll past on startup as indicated by one of the previous responses, then you can enter the bios setup to findout. In an older compaq to enter the bios setup, push and hold F10 when the blinking cursor first appears on startup. From there you should have no trouble finding the info you need. | Guest (0) | ||
| 13673 | 2001-06-21 21:59:00 | I inadvertently reduced the speed of my AMD K6 CPU by choosing 'revert to default' in the CMOS setup. I now have 175Mhz instead of the rated 233Mhz. How can I get back to the rated speed of 233Mhz? | Guest (0) | ||
