slow shuttle

Following up with more info from a previous post...

We have several shuttle machines, 2 of which we obtained in the past
48 hours, both run like snails. They are running different OSes.

I ran a CPU only benchmark (1 million primes) and on identical CPUs
on two machines (an older one + one of the newer ones) and results
were:

2.06 seconds (older machine at 2.6 ghz)
29.78 seconds (newer machine at 2.6 ghz).

Anybody know why a P4 2.6 ghz machine would act like a 386 ?

Check if the CPU cache is enabled in BIOS.

Also check temperature of the CPU. If it gets too hot, it slows
down...
