    l bought a second handed portege 3490ct with windows ME installed, and it is said to have the speed of p3 700, but when l opened dxdiag and msinfo32, used software like wcpu, they all show p3 500, l already set the cpu speed to High, and disabled the cpu sleep mode, used adapter instead of the battery, but nothing changed, when l set the cpu speed to low, the cpu speed lowered to around p3 250....., so what is the problem?

    According to this (From Xin's talk) or the other quote below..

    Is your machine 64mb built in or 128mb

    Can anyone else verify it? I am also having problems with pc133 ram I think
