I have just repaired an old Intel P4 1.8Ghz Pentium chip system which I'm trying to get it working smoothly.
The bios settings are
User defined
CPU Internal Freq 258Mhz
External clock 100Mhz/ 33.3Mhz
Multiplier factor x8
CPU clock 2/3 (66.6Mhz)
RDRAM bus Frequency 6x
Flash bios page on boot up
Direct rambus/Host freq 615/129Mhz
It works but seems slow considering its a Intel P4 1.8Ghz chip and it says it'll take 40 hours to complete a Einstein project.
I have a Intel P3 800Mhz chip which does the same project in 3 hours 30mins, Any advise on better settings please.
cheers

boincmgr usually over estimates the 1st WU and gets more accurate the more WUs you process.
What does a quick calc on % done and time taken give you?
And, are you running the same science app on both of the above machines? Make sure your not comparing it to a machine thats running an opti app when the 1.8 is using a standard app.
Other than that......

Hi "Havoc"
Irrespective of the actual settings, why not use the BIOS to reload the default settings?
Then you can see what's what and what should be correct.
If that doesn't work, remove the back-up battery (usually a small watch battery) and leave it for 24 hours.
Soon be sorted.
