Changing the CPU Speed

Your computer’s processor can operate at two speeds: High (33 MHz) or Low (8 MHz). At the higher speed, the computer performs all tasks faster. You may need to select the slower speed, however, to run some copy-protected programs or a program that has a specific timing requirement.

Unless you change the default setting in SETUP, whenever you turn on or reset the computer, it starts up in Hi h speed. To

change the speed temporarily, first press to turn Num Lock (and its indicator light) on. Then, to change to Low

speed, press When you want to changeback to Hi h speed, make sure Num Lock is on, and press

Note

You must press or on the embedded numeric keypad.

If you want your computer to always start at Low speed, you can change the default setting through SETUP. See Chapter 2 for instructions.
