winchester 3000+ running badly
 
below is a cpu-z dump. it all seems normal and is running on an asus
a8v-deluxe rev1 with a new install of xp-pro, I have 1gig pc3200 (2x512).

problem is that this machine is running worse than my old xp2800/nf7-s
system.

are there any tweaks or configuration settings that will improve this other
than overclocking? I have the latest asus-a8v files

You say runnin worse than your old 2800+?

Is the system crashing or are you getting poor benchmark results or not
getting the expected o/c results?

What clock speed are you running the processor at? With Cool & Quiet
enabled you have wide control over the clock speed. With Linux the clock
speed is controlled by the files in,

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq

In Windows there is a control panel that allows you to select the
performance mode.

Where does it hide out?

Well, I don't run Win, but I assume you did a new WXP install rather then
just using the old install. if not, then try a repair install.

Just look under the control panels. I don't normally run Windows so I
don't remember which one it is off hand, it's probably called system or
something like that. There are number of choices, laptop mode, desktop
mode, low power??, high performance??. They are all explained in the
control panel.

I have cool'n'quiet running but that panel only offers Programs and
Background Services under under Processor Scheduling.

The control panel is called Power Options.

That is only offering shut down and standby options.
Nothing for cool'n'quiet.
Maybe it offers more for a laptop.

That turns off the monitor after 15 minutes. I don't think it affect
cool'n'quiet. I have that set to never and the amd cool'n'quiet panel shows
it working.
