sometimes when my computer loads it only sees half my CPU power and other times the whole deal. it really makes a difference.
going from 2 gig to 1 gig...

| as in the BIOS displays it as 1ghz sometimes and 2ghz other times? Could it be that the BIOS is reverting to default settings because of a flat CMOS battery? |

nope each time i go into bios everything is groovy,
but when my OS loads and i notice it going slower sometimes and i do a right click on my computer and properties.....
shows only half my power.
does this intermitently mind you.
just hate restarting a couple of times till waiting for everything to load correctly |

XP? IF it's all good in the BIOS then that's weird.. are you sure that the computer is actually running slower when the OS is reporting a lower CPU speed? Could be that windows is just a tosser and the cpu is still running at 2ghz...
if it really is running like , then I could only figure that your BIOS is the one that's f*cking up, cos winXP doesn't have the power to change your CPU speed |

could be several things...
u got urself a dodgy cpu
ur mobo decided to give u a run for ur money...
ur OS is going insane...
ur FSB settings have somehow developed a mind of their own...
ur RAM is beginning to let u down etc... |
