Troubleshooting/Solutions

So what options do you have? Do you pull some RAM sticks off your motherboard every time
you want to play an older game? Of course not. Do you grab out and dust off an
old Pentium 1 or 2 computer? No way. Do you build a time machine and head back
in time just to play on an older PC? Probably not. Fortunately there are CPU
slowdown programs/utilities that can slowdown your CPU processor and deliberately
make it run at a selected slower pace, this of course allows your older PC game
to run at a slower pace like it was meant to before these high powered CPU's
came out.
Below is a list of these such programs:

CPUKILLER
CPUKILLER uses your processor and makes the resource occupancy grow enough to slow down the execution of other applications.
If you don't want your computer to be slowed down anymore you simply have to click on the stop button.

Bremze
Slows down PC performance by controlling the speed of execution of programs. This feature can be useful when running old processor-dependent programs on new PCs, particularly to decrease the speed of games for better results.

Throttle
Throttle is a program that uses a new method of tackling the age old "my machine runs too fast to play this game" problem. Throttle has also been known to cool your CPU and save electricity at the same time!
Throttle uses a feature in your system's hardware to modify the clock speed going to your CPU, rather than using software "delay loops" or HLT instructions to slow your machine down. This method provides very smooth slowdowns without any incompatibilities with software.
