FORCEBOOK ACE help

sasa74 · Jun 17, 2005, 09:49 AM

Hello,
I have bouhgt a Forcebook Ace 15g3 with dothan 1.6ghz, but only frequencies I have seen was 600mhz and 659mhz with power supply. This is measured with Intel centrino diagnostic program. In BIOS there are no options to set processor clock. Forcebook site doesnt work. I cannot find any bios for upgrade. This is first problem.
Second is that i dont know how to use video in (there is also video out separate conector).

Sorry for my english,
Best regards, Sasha, Croatia

Hi another program for checking your clockspeed is cpu-z which you can download at www.cpuid.com
Your clockspeed depends on the power profile you're using in windows, if you're running off the AC adapter check to make sure you're not running on the Maximum Battery or Portable/Laptop profiles because those will automatically clock-down your laptop.

You probably won't be able to find any BIOS upgrades. These laptops are built in HGSpot in Zagreb, so I doubt you can expect much of a support for it.

BTW, is it any good? I was thinking about getting one at some point, so I'm curious.

Laptop je ok, i mislim da radi na pravoj frekvenciji ali je ne pokazuje ispravno.

Laptop is ok, and i think it works on wanted frequency but it does not show it right.
