RE: Theme query
RAM optimisers do nothing good for your system. What most do is start taking up enourmous amounts of RAM, forcing the OS to push everything else out of physical RAM and into swap/page file. The self proclaimed "optimiser" then frees up all the memo... | rav0 | Tech Talk | 12-27-2005 at 01:58 PM |

Installation Problems
Heya everyone, I have tried several solutions to fix this probem, including configuring the BIOS, but nothing helped. I am currently trying to install all the important devices (hard drive, graphics card, CD/DVD drive, CPU) from my old pc into a new... | philipe | Tech Talk | 12-25-2005 at 04:29 PM |
RE: Timer in a plug-in
The TimerProc is a callback-function, an assyncronical function, just as events are, it is executed when a timeout occurs. If you have programmed something which takes all the idle time (aka processing power) of the CPU so events, callbacks, etc can... | CookieRevised | Plug-Ins | 12-23-2005 at 03:00 PM |
RE: New CPU help
Intel P4's with HT typically run at an 800mhz front side bus speed. Your CPU is currently running at 400mhz FSB (Half of what it should be). I established this way back when you posted the screenshot and it showed me your multiplier and FSB ("3.75... | surfichris | Tech Talk | 12-23-2005 at 02:23 AM |
RE: Damn GFX Card :(
Wich is the brand or anufacturer of the videocard? (Sorry if I'm not especific, im talking about eVGA, Gigabyte, etc...)? THe mobo you have is the one from Dell you posted on the CPU thread? | YottabyteWizard | Tech Talk | 12-23-2005 at 12:24 AM |
RE: New CPU help
Chestah hit the nail... And he most likely also meant read the manual of your mobo too... He is right that in many cases when you change CPU, you also need to change some jumpers on the mobo (if possible at all, not all mobo's can be configured for ... | CookieRevised | Tech Talk | 12-22-2005 at 11:45 PM |
RE: New CPU help
the CPU didnt come with a manual, it was OEM, and im not 100% sure what make/model my mobo is. but i think its an intel one. but ill have a look. but im convinced its the locked multipliers | Reaper | Tech Talk | 12-22-2005 at 11:18 PM |
RE: New CPU help
umm i'm not sure about Intel, but with AMD you need to change the "jumpers" on your motherboard to determine the FSB that it runs at. Read the manual of your CPU and see if you need to set these jumpers on your motherboard. I know for AMD that it ... | Chestah | Tech Talk | 12-22-2005 at 11:15 PM |

RE: New CPU help
so your saying i need to install the "Standard PC HAL"? i dont want to format :(. i upgrading using the Dell one. yeh i read that they locked it, thats why i wanna change the BIOS, unless the HAL thingy works :P | Reaper | Tech Talk | 12-21-2005 at 02:51 PM |
RE: New CPU help
He means formatting or just overwriting the windows directory. Did you update the BIOS to the Intel one? The Dell BIOS probably has locked multipliers because you're not meant to attempt to overclock it or change the CPU. :P | Underlord | Tech Talk | 12-21-2005 at 02:51 PM |
RE: New CPU help
well the multipliers cant be changed within my BIOS and i tried a program called CPUFSB but my PLL isnt supported so thats why i think i need a change of BIOS | Reaper | Tech Talk | 12-21-2005 at 02:45 PM |
RE: New CPU help
Indeed. | Underlord | Tech Talk | 12-21-2005 at 02:43 PM |
RE: New CPU help
i bought the comptuer from Dell themselves and and ive changed the CPU, is that what you mean? | Reaper | Tech Talk | 12-21-2005 at 02:38 PM |
RE: New CPU help
Did you update the CPU in a standard Dell PC? This may be the reason the multipliers are not set correctly. | Underlord | Tech Talk | 12-21-2005 at 02:36 PM |
RE: New CPU help
i didnt reinstall my OS becuase i thought there was no need. HAL? lol care to explain? my old CPU was 1.8Ghz but are the chances it will not work/go wrong high or is it really a 50/50 chance? [Edit] tried one of the programs, it doesnt let me continu... | Reaper | Tech Talk | 12-21-2005 at 02:32 PM |
RE: New CPU help
I have a quick question which depending on your answer my be a fix. After installing the new CPU, did you install your OS from scratch? If you install a new CPU and don't want to have to reformat, you'll have to install a new HAL. Have you tried re... | colddove | Tech Talk | 12-21-2005 at 02:29 PM |

RE: New CPU help
ah ok. anyway to change it? [Edit] i searched around, and it seems i have to do something with my mobo or the cpu itself, but i dont know what. and after more research, dell (the computer i have) computers cannot be overclocked. so is there anyway ro... | Reaper | Tech Talk | 12-20-2005 at 08:28 PM |

I have a P4 HT 3 Ghz too, but my computer sees it as 2 processors running at 3 Ghz.

ahh thanks. but before i enabled hyper threading in the BIOS settings, it was still like that and there was only one graph in the task manager also the performance is not greatly different than my old processor and programs say im still running a 1.5... | Reaper | Tech Talk | 12-20-2005 at 04:02 PM |
RE: New CPU help
Hmm, not that much into CPU related things. But I know somebody with a HT CPU that has that too. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the Performance tab. Do you have two CPUs listed there? That's HT in action as far as I know... Windows sees it as two 150... | Menthix | Tech Talk | 12-20-2005 at 03:57 PM |
RE: New CPU help
The CPU might be 3.00 GHz but it's running at 1.5 GHz, check FSB, CPU Multiplier and voltages. | YottabyteWizard | Tech Talk | 12-20-2005 at 03:43 PM |
