|  Xp2000 problem.
My new xp2000 is only running at 1.2mhz. Isnt it supposed to run at 1.6? The board i am using is a ECS K7S5A. Is there any way to make it run faster? thnx in advance.

In the bios under CPU settings change it to 133/133.

If your FSB is at 100mhz instead of 133 itll run at 1250mhz instead of 1.667

I think Ben Salisbury got his problem solved, so I'll just add one more remark.
I remember when I went through the whole PC store looking at games and checking the back of everyone. And being disappointed that every one I saw said CD-ROM required on the back. Few days later we bought our first 2x cd-rom!! "Best on the market!" lol | |

Yeah, I remember when I bought a new game and tryed to install it on that old mac. It did not have enough memory at all! The game required 16mb of RAM and i only had 12!  I think that was back in '97, and we were considering to get a Dell Dimension XPS M200s Pentium 200mhz system. It was a BIG step when we got it, a old mac to a new, top of the line $3,000! Pentium 200mhz System. Now too, the dell is already in pieces sold cause it was 'too' slow. Now I have a P4 System and i'm all happy because its fast!
Maybe we should start a new thread on, "old systems we had in the past and the experience back then" lol
and, Ben Salisbury, i hope you got your problem solved, if you didn't feel free to post back here so we can help!! | |

I remember when I was freakin out when I first bough Myst because my desktop color depth was only set to the minimal settings (whatever was below 256!) and it was supposed to be set to 256 to play the game. Finally I figured out how to change the color depth in win3.1 and bam!! I was off. And I will not apologize for being a Myst fan
