Old Laptop
"Pen" ha scritto nel messaggio . .. Did you read the docs at the link I posted before? That explains speed step. It's all part of the battery saving scheme. Yes but doesn't works... The power scheme is set to MAX performarce in the power management and the AC is ON. When I suspend (on ram) the laptop, when I resume it goes on 500MHz... without possibility to change it. I would be to enable the 700MHz by click...

I don't have Speedstep with my version of Windows XP OEM version from Gateway. Here is what Wikipedia says about Speedstep.

Speedstep exists (or doesn't) in the chipset; it's hardware, not software.
But, if you have the hardware and don't install the driver for it, you may find yourself "locked" at the SLOW speed, lower than the rated (fast, full) speed of the processor. Which was the original complaint that started this thread. BillW50 wrote: "Excel Line" wrote in message "Ben Myers" ha scritto nel messaggio news

Not necessarily; it's chipset specific, and if the laptop has a newer
chipset than existed on the XP distribution disk ..... Excel Line wrote: "Ben Myers" ha scritto nel messaggio news
