| 439996 | 2006-04-03 20:16:00 | ok. ...so i ran that cpu tool like you guys said (www.cpuid.com (www.cpuid.com)). and here's what it showed. so does that mean the processor really is a measly .5 ghz (the core speed i assume)? www.geocities.com if so, i guess the fair market value is prolly pretty low! |

| 439997 | 2006-04-04 07:29:00 | Looking at the CPU information, it appears your laptop is underclocked. The processor speed should be multiplier x FSB. In your case it is showing your AMD 2800+ CPU as: 4x 133 MHz = 532 MHz processor From some quick reading, the XP-M allows a variable multiplier to underclock the CPU to conserve power. I am not sure why it is stuck on 4x. If you cranked up the laptop with some demanding process to get a high CPU usage (eg, full virus scan), then I wonder if you ran the CPUID program during that, would it show a higher multiplier? Playing with multipliers etc is not really my thing, so hopefully someone with more experience in this area could comment further on your situation. :) |
