Fireonice Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Must be underclocking it to save power. My old laptop used to do this. I think theres a setting for it in the bios to turn it off thou. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCManiac Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) Its the powernow feature on the cpu it lowers the clock speed when its idle and increases it when there is the need for it. You shouldn't be losing any performance your just saving battery Edited June 15, 2007 by OCManiac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

upok Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 ahh gotcha. cuz im listing it on ebay and i didnt want to false advertise it at 2.0ghz lol I think that's why hp used to promote them as "With Powernow Technology", just to avoid the confusion you are trying to stay out of.
