Hey guys, I'm fairly certain this can be done, but I can't seem to find a piece of software to do it Basically I have a child that wants to run some software that needs 2.2 or 2.4 ghz processor. He has a athlon or semperon or something of that ilk running 'essentially' 2.8ghz but the processor is only 1.6 or 1.8Gnz off top-of-my-head. The Software recognizes this and refuses to install because the pc doesn't reach min spec. Is there a way to fudge the os into thinking the CPU cycles are far higher ? I'm assuming a registry tweek. Please bear in mind I am not trying to overclock the processor, just let the software 'think' there is a higher speed processor fitted.
