Another program to use is throttle. Most slowdown programs are software based.
Throttle uses bios and hardware calls to actually downclock the CPU. (Or so they claim). You have to make sure to use throttle again later to fix the numbers back. This doesn't work much past 1.2 g... but below that it's great for downclocking the machine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Peart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 11:14 AM Subject: [Freedos-user] Re: Descent 1 > At 08:36 PM 03/14/2004, you wrote: > > >Hi, good point, after upgrading 133 -> 500 MHz it already runs a bit too > >fast here, too.
