Changing the CPU Speed
Your computer's processor can operate at two speeds: High
(33 MHz) or Low (8 MHz). At the higher speed, the computer
performs all tasks faster. You may need to select the slower

program that has a specific timing requirement.

turn on or reset the computer, it starts up in Hi h speed. To
change the speed temporarily, first press
