Hi, i think this a problem with windows. The CPU only runs at 598mhz instead of 1.60ghz as it should be. I disabled intel speedstep in the bios, yet it still is not running at full speed (or at least its not reporting too)
it's a dell insprion 2200. Windows server 2003 enterprise R2 SP2.

and here is a screenshot of system properties:

Wrong choice.

Laptops are designed to trottle down to save power. Speedstep is part to the process that decides when to do what.

You are running server on a laptop. I hope you don't have high expectations.
