Check CPU speed settings on iMac G5s
Well, I don't have the magazine in front of me (I'll have to check it out when I can) and they don't have their articles on their website. But in their forums, they have a thread discussing the article, and one of the posters had about the same experience as mine when they tested their machine. Check out this post.
Your mileage may vary. But all I know is that my Powerbook makes a VERY ANNOYING noise when set to "Highest" so I keep it at "Automatic" for my own sanity, and I have not noticed a difference in my usage. And I use my PowerBook 15 hours a day. :)
Check CPU speed settings on iMac G5s
I haven't really run any benchmarks per se, myself. My experience has been that it does not "feel" any faster during normal operation; ie word, photoshop, iTunes. However, as I posted in the original thread, when running Battlefield 1942 it runs dog slow at 640 x 480 when set to automatic. Setting it to highest yeilds much better performance. Nanosaur 2 does not show any difference. My guess is that some programs and games don't cause the processor to ratchet up like it should. There is no doubt that the fans run louder, though; as they should with the proc running hotter. |
