Installing EQ help!

[Lisail]

<p>I just got my new dell laptop and tried to install EQ and got this message :</p><p>This machine appears to be below minimums and EQ2 will not operate CPU speed 14 < 1000 MHz</p><p>I don't understand!  I have a 2.5 GHz processor and 4 gigs of ram, the dell people made sure it met EQ requirements before I ordered it and had it made.  Do I need to open up some more CPU speed or something?</p>

<p>That's very odd.  If your CPU is supposed to be 2.5GHz and you're getting the error, there may be a program on your system set to adjust CPU speed depending on it's temperature. That, or the computer may be largely underclocked by default. </p><p>Can you check through your BIOS to see how your CPU speed is set?</p>

<p>"Can you check through your BIOS to see how your CPU speed is set?"</p><p>Can you tell me how to do this?  I'll be happy to do so once I understand how!  <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>I think I figured it out - Pressed F2 during startup to enter setup.  I'm not sure if this is what information you had been asking for but here is what I saw:</p><p>Current click speed: 2.000 GHz</p><p>Min Clock Speed:  1.200 GHz</p><p>Max Clock Speed:  2.000 GHz</p><p>If thats not the information you wanted then just tell me what to look under or look for once I enter the setup screen.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Thanks, and sorry for not being REAL computer savvy.  Lol</p>
