maynardvdm Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Hi all i have an old p3 pc which is supposed to be 450MHz ( :) ) but i relized the other day (coz i rarely look at the pc when booting up coz its slooooooow) that its only running at 300MHz (66 X 4.5), i tried changing it to 450MHZ (100 X 4.5) but then it wont boot. I left it now on 300MHz coz its only for storage but i was just wondering why it is running at an slower speed now, coz i know for a fact the CPU is 450MHz. This is not urgent i am just curious. Thanks BTW dont laugh at the spec, i use my laptop for all other things :) lol Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.

Seth Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I'm thinking that it's either: 1) Not a 450. 2) You might need to change other bios cpu options. 3) There's something wrong with cpu.
