Powerleap PL-iP3/T 1400C on the Napoli-2

This is one easy upgrade! Go to the Napoli-2 download section and get either napoli2_1.zip or napoli2_2.zip. Read the "readme" to determine which one you need. Read the "readme" for the na2_113s.zip file to see how to flash.....the principle is the same. After you flash you might want to make sure you were successful and reboot and make sure you can make it back to your desktop. If so, you're half way there. Shut down, unplug old CPU, plug in Powerleap CPU, connect power lead and then power the system on. The POST screen will only show 1000Mhz, but don't worry as you will see, you are running at 1.4Ghz.

As you can see below WCPUID accurately reports the correct speed. In this screen shot I have bumped the FSB to 103Mhz which is an option in the CMOS settings.

Sandra also reports the correct speed.

Check out Sandra's benchmark scores.

PCPitstop incorrectly reports the wrong CPU speed but the scores tell the tale.

Don't you just hate when you install a piece of hardware that is suppose to speed up your rig, but you can't tell a bit of difference? Well this is definitely NOT the case here. This Powerleap PL-iP3/2 1400C took the place of a 1.0Ghz P-3. As you can see by the numbers, there is a definite 60% increase! All apps boot up faster...stable as a rock. As Rainman would say, "Definitely worth it...definitely!
