I, too have a PII 266 Toshiba. How do you know what speed the CPU is running at various time and program you use.
Almost all laptop has speed adjustment so that it can prolong battery life by reducing CPU voltage. Therefore, it reduces the CPU speed. But, I like to find out the detail knowledge of the speed you outlined.
