Somewhere in the CMOS settings there should be a speedstep setting. How exactly you get to it varies among laptops, so I can't tell you exactly where it is, but if you look around in the power management area you should be able to find one. If you really don't have a way to turn off speedstep in your CMOS, it's going to be a problem. I suppose you may be able to coax the laptop into always running in low-power mode by setting the power management to maximum power savings and always booting the laptop from a battery, but that's not a very good solution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
