Power Mac 7200/90 mhz?

#1 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 - 12:30

Greetings. Hope you are all well. I have a rather odd question. I have a power Macintosh 7200/90 and it works and all but when I use Tech Tool pro to check its specs; tech tool reports the processor as running at 75 mhz and it says the system reports the speed as 90 mhz.

According to Apple its supposed to be a 90 mhz machine as thats what the badge on front says.

Anyone else see this at all before on a machine? Tech tool reports all my other macintoshes correctly; just not this power mac 7200/90.

Nick.

Probably just a software bug, Apple System Profiler is usually the most reliable in terms of reporting CPU clock speeds.

If you're really worried, hunt up a copy of Clockometer or the same function in GaugePro, both free utilities from NewerTech way back when.

I will have to hunt down some more apps that report system specs and such. Thanx for the ideas in what to look for. Hopefully I am able to still find these and down load them.
