I added a new 64m bytes PC100 RAM to my 133MHz system using a Pentium III
533MHz CPU runing at 133MHZ at 4 times clock ratio. In order to make it
compatible with the system and the existing PC133 RAM, I have to ajust the
frequency of the system to 100MHz. I hope to run the CPU at similar speed as
specified, so I adjusted the clock ratio to 5 to make the CPU speed as
500MHz. These adjustments are all OK in BIOS setup and the newly added RAM
does work well with the system. However, when I started up my Windows XP
Professional, I found the CPU speed changed to 400MHz, that means it runs on
the ajusted system frequency (100MHz) at the old clock ratio of 4 times. Any
one can tell me how this happens and how to make a higher CPU Speed while
the system frequency is turned down.
Thanks.
