Comment: Everytime I view my processor speed it reports 798 mhz, however I know better - it is 1.6 GHz !!! How do I get my processor to run at full speed? It is at 798mhz all the time - not just on battery power.

Reply: (edit)Installed the AMD 64 driver and things seem better. I am on battery at the moment and speed is 399mhz. I presume if I were to go on AC power I would get more performance!

Reply: (edit)Jam is right you wouldn't want a laptop processor to be running all the time at full speed when it doesn't need to, that would be a waste of battery life.

Reply: (edit)There is an easy solution to this just go into power management and change the the main settings to a desktop computer you can change settings for when it is powered or on battery
