Wrong cpu speed

I bought a 12" 1ghz Powerbook in 2003.
It worked fine until a couple of weeks ago when I had to change the HD. Since then, my cpu speed is no longer 1 ghz but 867 nhz, which is as of the previous model...
any help !?
Jules

ok so the pram didn't work, and I don't know how to access to the open firmware.
But is there a way to know for sure at which speed my cpu is set, because if it's just an info issue, I don't realy care about it.
and also I forgot, my fan is always on when I start my computer, and never stops since the hd replacement..

  • Kt4 Vl Giving Me Wrong Cpu Speed.

    I have the KT4 VL mobo running a AMD XP 2400 but it keeps showing up as XP 2600.
    I have set the fsb in the bios to 133 and every thing else on auto. The heatsink fan is on properly with good thermal compound etc etc. Under stress the comp as been locking up but the cpu temp is 40 c.
    What is wrong?
    Cheers.
    Leon.

    I think the bios reports the "model" of the cpu depending on the multiplier and fsb speed, why don't you check with a program like cpu-z or wcpuid to see what fsb/multiplier/speed the think you are running at? I think the standard specs. for the XP 2400+ is 15x133=1995Mhz+-2Ghz.
    I think there were 133Mhz bus 2600s, but if you have bought it recently, you shouldn't get that 2600 rating without the 166mhz fsb...
    If your computer is running and 40degrees C and you are sure the heatsink is properly installed with thermal grease/material, maybe your hangups are not caused by the cpu... check your memory settings...

  • KT4A-V showing wrong CPU Speed

    Hi,
      I have just installed my motherboard and updated the BIOS using live update and my Athlon 3000+ is showing up as a 2200+. Any ideas on what I might be able to try? I'd really appreciate them.
    Garry

    Thank you everyone that responded. I'm sorry, I left out that I have reset the BUS speed to 166. When I start the computer up, Windows loads fine, but then restarts. The cycle continues like this until I lower the BUS speed to 133. I am using 2 modules of Crucial PC2700 DDR too. I appreciate your guidence here.
    Thanks!

  • Newbie: My CPU speed is wrong!

    I have a KT3 Ulta-ARU motherboard and an Athlon 1400Mhz CPU with a 266MHz FSB.  My diagnostics tools tell me my CPU is running at 1GHz though.
    I can't get FuzzyLogic or the other MSI tools to work on my computer any more as they inevitably seem to just stop working and I can't uninstall them either.  So how in the BIOS do I fix my CPU speed?
    I know this is a dumb question but I just can't figure it out after reading the manual or searching around the site.
    Thanks!

    No I typically have trouble with the MSI tools.  I do a clean install of WinXP Pro, and install the tools from the CD.  Then I run LiveUpdate, and invariably one tool conflicts with another, or it tries to update one but can't uninstall it, or both.  So I've just given up.  My computer is due for an OS reinstall soon anyways.
    I just got an MSI GeForce4 TI 4200 video card a week ago too so I would like to have the MSI tools working!

  • IMPORTANT!!!! The CPU speed is wrong

    Hi, yesterday I rebooted my PC, but when I rebooted, in the first page where says your HDD's and all those things I read my CPU speed was AMD Athlon 1100 but I have an Athlon XP 2500, can somebody tell me what can I do to fix my problem?

    Always keep an old PS2 mouse and keyboard sitting on the shelf in your closet... that way when all the fancy USB and/or wireless stuff goes bonkers, or their batteries die... then you have something to fall back on.

  • 10.4.10 boosts CPU speed by 130mhz !?!

    Hi,
    After installing the Mac OS 10.4.10 update my iBook 1.2ghz now thinks it is... 1.33ghz!
    Am I the only one?
    In the many years of being a Mac user I have never had this happen before, and it 'appears' that know one else has reported it happening either.
    Not that I am complaining!
    But really, I have checked and double checked, and the fact remains that 'About This Mac' and System Profiler shows my CPU speed as 1.33ghz now - has the update over-clocked my machine?
    When I get a moment I will run a benchmark to see if that is the case, or whether the update is (more likely) just reporting the wrong speed...
    Let me know if you have experienced this
    braeng
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Ok, I've just run XBench, compared the results with other users iBooks, and the conclusion is...
    About This Mac is lying.
    I had, and still have, a measly 1.2ghz
    I feel like one of those kids who buy's a old 3-Series BMW and then sticks a M3 badge on it to look cool.
    Anyway, I would still like to know if anyone else has had this weirdness happen after the update.

  • Wrong CPU idenfication

    Hi.
    I have a KT3Ultra-2 mobo with a AMD 2000XP+ installed on it. My problem is that my computer tells me, that it is a Duron CPU. The CPU-speed is 1667 MHz, but the L2 Cashe is only 64 kb. I have tried to opdate my bios, but this dosn't help either. Is there anybody who have an idea about what is wrong?

    Hi,
    I think that I would start with removing the heatsink, clean the processor thoroughly, reapply a little thermal grease (2 mm, and only on the die) and then reinstall processor and heatsink.
    If this will not solve your problem and the CPU will give the same result in another system (preferrably one of your supplier), there is something wrong with the processor and it should be exchanged.
    Is the mobo new, btw? Testing a good CPU in your mobo may then tell you if there is something wrong with the board.

  • Help me i've got a problem with my cpu speed

    I have bought prince of persia 2 and after the installation i want launch it but it indicates me I haven't the minimal configuration for the cpu speed(it's indicated 800mhz)
    my config:
    k8n neo platinum
    amd 64 2800+ (fsb 200mhz and multiplier 9x in the bios 1.4)
    1gb ddr 400
    ati radeon 9800pro 128mb
    i look for and i find : cpu-z indicates 200mhz for the fsb and 4x for the multiplier
    the same thing when i launch corecenter
    please help me    

    ok you're right  i restore the correct frequency
    thank you thank you thank you
    but it's nevertheless strange my multiplier moved from 4x to 9x on account of cool and quiet

  • How to get statistics (or precise data) about cpu speed and RAM

    My problem is I want to determine the CPU speed of the computer is running the applet.
    I know there's no way to obtain in a simply (and standar) way this property, so I've thinked about generating statistic methods for do it (something like executing a loop a defined iterations)
    My doubt is what to put inside this loop, beacuse I would like to know just not CPU speed (or satistics about it), I need also free RAM statistics, so I've thinked there would be some specific java instructions to give a relationship of these data I need.
    My question is if someone has done (or has thinked about) this kind of classes before me, and can tell me what is the best way to make the same.

  • T430 CPU speed question

    Hi,
    I recently bought a T430 advertised as having this cpu:
    Intel Core i7-3520M Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz) 
    However in my control panel the i7 cpu shows up as 2.90 GHz. Can anyone please tell me if there is some option to increase the speed in the BIOS or similar? Many thanks.
    Michael.

    The CPU can dynamically change speed in order to conserve power. If you have a CPU speed monitor you can see these transitions routinely. Here are some samples showing my T430s (i5-3320M up to 2.60GHz) taken about a minute apart:

  • Program taking up all of CPU Speed

    Hello,
    I have been lucky not to have to use the forum, until now. I recently installed a program called Garage Sale. I decided not to use it and deleted it (drug it over to trash from the finder window). Well,(now at least a week later) I turned on my computer this morning and it was running really really slow. I was finally able to get into the activity monitor and was able to find the problem. A piece of Garage Sale was still running (Garagesalehelper) and it was taking up to 65 - 80% of my CPU Speed. How to do I get rid of this thing? Thanks for any and all help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, JoeCat24
    To stop the offending process immediately, you can highlight "Garagesalehelper" in the main Activity Monitor window and then click the red "Stop Process" button. However, this fix is only effective until you restart your Mac or the application.
    To get permanent relief, you must properly uninstall Garage Sale.. I do not use Garage Sale, so I cannot give you specific, step-by-step instructions. You will need to find the proper uninstall instructions. Some applications come with an uninstaller. Others list all the files that must be removed along with their locations
    If you still have the Garage Sale installer or Readme files, check there to see how to properly uninstall. If you do not have this information, you may need to download the installer again to see if uninstall instructions are available there. Sometimes it is simpler to reinstall the application and then use the Help files to find out how to properly uninstall.
    If none of those things work, I suggest that you contact the software developer and ask him for instructions on how to uninstall his app.
    If this GarageSale is the app causing your problems, the developer offers email support via his "Contact & Support" link.

  • Firefox wants newer Flash player but my machine doesn't meet Flash 10.2 CPU speed

    Just installed Firefox 3.6 and it says I need to update Flash player plug-in, but my machine doesn't meet the current Flash player 10.2 system requirements, ie for CPU speed. My CPU is 1.7 GHz. New Flash wants something like 2.4 GHz. I have 128 MB of dedicated graphics.
    IE does display flash content, using Flash active X plug-in, 10.0.32.18
    Otherwise like Firefox.

    Update to the latest version of Flash that is compatible with your system. (probably 10.1 r102) After that ignore Mozilla's messages about needing to update Flash.
    IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use (Plugin), so it's like comparing apples and oranges.

  • How to boost nokia e63 cpu speed

    hello, please i am wondering if it is possible to boost the cpu speed of nokia e63, become its usually slow when performing various task like 1. When installing an application 2. When opening some big third party applications like opera mini, whats app, and some games 3. When removing an application, these are the areas where i,ve noticed nokia e63 being slow
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try closing apps which is running in the background. Clear browser cache and uninstall 3rd party applications which you don't use. Turn off theme effects. All this could affect the "speed" on your phone in a positive way.

  • Minimum usable CPU speed for Photoshop Elements

    It has a CPU described as:  A4-5000 APU with Radeon (tm) HD Graphics 1.5 GHz.
    Windows 8.1 operating system.
    Will I be able to use Photoshop Elements on this?

    I know about the min specs. The reason I'm asking if it really checks the CPU speed is I have a school that *is* running Premiere Elements 10 on the exact same hardware. Same CPU. The only difference is the new version I'm trying to install is the volume license version, part of the Adobe Digital School collection. The school that already has it running is using Premiere Elements 10 with either separate licenses or some other license setup. So it doesn't make sense why it worked but doesn't now.
    Testing today. On my test PC, a Core 2 6300 XPsp3, the setup would start up OK using the non-VL installer, but fail when I tried to use the setup.exe from the new installer. As far as I know the program is the same, but I don't think I can do the XML customizations needed to do a silent installer on the non volume licensed version of Premiere Elements 10. In short, why does one version of PE 10 install but not the other?
