Title: CPU overclock A1200NG question
Post by: fordprefect on October 08, 2025, 11:13:16 PM
Ok, so I ran Sysinfo on an .ADF, here's the results (attached). I did purchase the CPU boost option and the packaging listed it as installed. In the manual it  just says that when you run Amiga software it kicks in the overclock, so my question is, is the 1.34 over a stock A1200 and a clock speed of 72MHz what I can expect, or is there an option to run things faster? Just curious, as this is fast enough to run Octamed V8.1, but folks are asking about this too.

Thanks!

If you ran of ADF you are probably getting results of a slightly boosted A500+ ;)

Did you create a custom config for that ?

No, just downloaded it off Aminet and ran it, as I was just curious what the speed was. The whole reason for getting this system was to run the latest Octamed V8.1 and hopefully be a betatester for the OS4.1 porting effort. Speed wasn't that important for this system, but many folks on Reddit were interested.

I tried running the program directly, but with the menu option, an .ADF was easier to run. Was it running slower because it was an ADF?

If you import an ADF on A600GS/A1200NG you have to choose an environment for that ADF to be emulated and most likely it´s not the fastest ;)

I just started SysInfo on a custom AmigaOS 3.2.3 Setup and here is the result on an A600GS (without Turbo Option) and it´s FAST ! So it's just a misconfiguration on your side ...
