Anyone heard of CPU speed control software?
« on: February 22, 2006, 04:36:25 PM »
I was at an acquaitance's house and he showed me this.

This is a little Windows prog that (supposedly) can control machine speed. I don't know what it actually does, but I DO know that when it's run and set it to accelerate, then Quake II is run the player FLIES through the map. Or conversely, drop the speed by 4 and the player can target the bots faster than they can (running/walmig speed is slow, but it's nifty falling in slo mo and targeting bots (accurately) on the way down.

Doesn't work on 'good' Quake sites (i.e. anti-mod sites), but it is nifty to play with.

Pic view progs pop open pix almost instantaneously - overall, just about everything screams! (Firefox seems to dislike running if you use the tabbed feature)

Playing movies or mp3 gets distortion, e.g. skipped ime/frames.

I don't remember what it's called, but I want to know - WTF is it doing? How can the machine SCREAM along if it normally just zooms along ?

If the machine is capable of running at this speed, why doesn't it always ?

Switching between tasks does not appear to be affected.

Not sure - I had a software that set a tesk prority to high, then couldn't do ANYTHING else until I quit that prog - this software allowed my acquaintance to switch easily from task to task, and all of thm seemed to run great.
