I'd like to ask a question to those who have an Asus P2B or P3B running: Does the Throttle slowdown utility work on your boards? I tried it on both the P2B and the P3B, and it failed, but on other BX chipset boards (like the Epox BX3) it went fine. Is this some problem with Asus' ACPI implementation?

For anyone here with the same question, I've modified throttle to work correctly on Asus P2B mainboards.
The issue with the ordinary release is the PIIXE south-bridge revised the location of the control registers for ACPI compliance.

use thpiix4e.exe instead of throttle.exe it should work great!

Tested on a P2B-S with a 1300mhz celeron.

I've released a new version of this:
https://github.com/slartibardfast/throttle/re … es/tag/20211010

Unfortunately, the old version didn't work correctly unless windows 98se was booted first.
I had mis-interpreted the datasheets, all the ASUS bios actually needs is the
'Clock Control Enable' register bit to be flipped to one.

with version 20211010 a clean boot of msdos will throttle as expected.
