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.

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!

Laptops constantly change the CPU speed based on load....that is to conserve battery power & keep it running cool. What you're seeing to normal

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.
