    Hi all. Need some help on something different. I have a pentium 1 machine, running a 120Mhz processor. I built it to do a specific task but it does this task too quickly, even at 75Mhz, which is the lowest multiplier setting the mobo supports. My question is, whats the best way to slow down the processor further? Im looking for about half Pentium 75Mhz speed. Is it possible to slow it down changing the voltage of the CPU or is there another way?
    I was considering MoSlow deluxe, but would rather make the changes through hardware.

    Any help appreciated Im out of ideas.

    Is it possible for you to run two instances of the task your trying to complete simultaneously and only take the results of one,theoretically halving performance?

    It would be interesting to know what your up to :) If anyone here can help you I'd expect they would need alot more info, prolly down to the precise components you have hooked up,I very much doubt the such an old cpu will have any kind throttling if you lower the voltage it would just stop working

    Good luck :)

    Well this is good! Everyone tries to get there comps to go faster and you want to go slower.
    You could try voltage, but be careful, the system could go unstable.
    I kind of know where you are going. In running old equipment meant for 1 task, speed is not an issue. When the comp fails, going new causes problems. The company I work for is having issues upgraging 386/486's to pentiums because the 486 mobo, etc aren't available. Too many other components down the line need to be changed.

    Maybe someone else has some answers. Be patient.
    Keep us informed.

    why do you want to make it slower?
