| 100713 | 2002-11-23 23:11:00 | i have an ibm laptop running xpp. In my systems properties general tab, the information on my cpu is 4 m 1.70GHz. Below it there is 1.19GHz. Is this fiqure 1.19GHz the speed that my cpu is running at? if so, is there a way i can change it to full speed of 1.7GHz | bobs (2597) | ||
| 100714 | 2002-11-24 02:37:00 | I saw that recently when looking at a laptop - I was wondering whether it was "currently" running at 1.19Ghz to keep it cool and quiet (being a laptop) and only winds up to full speed when the speed is really needed. This is just what I thought, as I've never seen it before, and I don't have a laptop to check it out on anyway :) I hope someone can answer the question, as I'm interested to know the answer too :) Mike. |

| 100715 | 2002-11-24 03:17:00 | I think that will be the speed that it goes down for conserving power. If you're plugged into the mains i'm sure it will run at full speed/ | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 100716 | 2002-11-25 01:57:00 | Some magazine reviews of laptops using the "Mobile" Pentiums have commented that the "faster" ones actually ran slower than desktops using lower specified clock CPUs. It's both power saving and temperature. The speed will be dropped when the CPU is doing "nothing" ... which will probably include time when it's in the BIOS setup. |

| 100717 | 2002-11-28 03:56:00 | plugged it into the mains and it still shows the same speed | bobs (2597) | ||
| 100718 | 2002-11-28 04:03:00 | A lot of the problem is getting rid of the heat when the CPU is running at full speed. See tones malone's posting :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 100719 | 2002-11-28 04:03:00 | Use WCPUID to check the FSB/BUS speed, Memory speed .. and you should be able to take it back to the shop and ask them to explain this senario :D | SKT174 (1319) | ||
