Hi all,

I have a Packard Bell iMedia 4600 that I salvaged from work. It has the
following specs:

P3 Coppermine @ 750MHz (100x7.5)
2x 128MB PC133 @ 100MHz

There was a sticker on the front saying it was a Celeron 1GHz, but I'm
guessing it had been swapped with the P3. When I ran CPUz just to see what
it came up with, I was surprised to see:

Because this is supposedly a 1000MHz CPU, could I raise the FSB to 133MHz
(133x7.5) to gain it again? Or (as I'm guessing the Celeron worked) raise
the Multiplier to 10 (100x10) to get the 1GHz back?

Thanks,

Neil



Intel P3 CPU's are multiplier-locked. Raising the FSB to 133 MHz
might work although frying the CPU is a certain possibility. But
are you sure the computer is not currently being under-clocked?
Verify the specifications of the CPU by looking up its sSpec#.
Moreover, the "EB" labeling indicates that it should be running
on a 133 MHz bus and not at 100 MHz.
