Note to Laptop Users You might have known this you may not. But all you laptop users out there. Ever been out on the road, have about 1/2 battery left and your notebook is a little warm and on top of it all it's running slow. I finally figured it out (I'm clueless sometimes). It's that dang Speed Step Technology (or whatever AMD calls it). The idea behind it is that when you're low on juice and the notebook is running hot that it kicks the processor down in speed so that it doesn't overheat and saves you presious go juice. I ran WCPUID on here constantly while having some back ground apps going and I watched it jump around from speed to speed, it bottomed out at 550MHZ(it's a AMD Athlon 4 1.1GHZ). You're all probably all going DUH, but hey I didn't know. Posted by chris at 04:06 PM Mobile PCs • (9) Trackbacks
