Scarthy © ® ™ Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Boris...Did you buy that computer new at one time? If so how long ago was it? The answer will be a sobering insight into the speed at which the IT industry flows....My PC is only 9 months old and it seems quite slow at the side of the newer models already.... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted January 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 PC EejitYes I do have to use WinCooler to keep the high temperatures under control :rolleyes: but I never thought of underclocking it - far too obvious - and much more effective :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
