How to change CPU frequency "speedstep" on Centrino
Hi all, yesterday I installed 7 RC and so far it is working without any major issues on my old IBM R51...
However, there is one thing coming into my mind:
On my previous XP installation, I clicked Control Panel -> System and could see my processor's speed e.g. Intel Centrino CPU @ 768MHz 1.5GHz, 1,99GB RAM...
So it uses kind of "speedstep" or something, to throttle the CPU speed.
On Win 7, it shows Intel Centrino CPU @1.5GHz 1.5GHz, 1,99GB RAM.
So it's always on full speed and it doesn't throttle down. I already tried default power plans (balanced, speed - sorry, don't know the exact english description) but it still keeps 1.5GHz.
Does anyone have an idea, what I could try to throttle the CPU speed?
Cheers,
