I've had this computer for a couple years but is still reasonably good to me. runs a 2. 4 intel pentium 4 proc. with room to upgrade to a 2.8 gh. but my os and other diagnostics say its running at a speed of 1.8 gh which is way to slow for not only everday stuff, but I do computer animation, editing and photoshop graphics as well. I never really noticed before cuz i hadn't done much on my own machine. Also always figured i just needed more ram, put the pathetic speed is noticable and i'm pissed off about it. is this a normal translation of speeds for processors by pentium, or is something up? wrong multiplier in bios or sumthin? I'm clueless. I could build a new computer in a few months anyways , but i want to make the best of this one for now and also when i do get a new computer, i want this one to be a back up for rendering and such. so how can i get the most out of a possibly bogus processor?
