-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I am looking for patch wich will change it to (1000 / 1ms = 1000fps) or get a specific ACPI driver, like ACPI PC but for SMP, or just ACPI multiprocessor with 1000fps... I think Intel or Microsoft or Valve can help with solving this bug, or advanced programmer... Maybe its possible to get some DLL from ACPI PC wich changing timer and put them to Multiprocessor driver... Yes i want 1000fps on Windows and with normal performance of both CPU's...
