I have a HP TC1100 tablet latptop with a Pentium M 1Ghz processor.
When I first got it, I recall that when I'd look at the processor summary in the "System" page (under the control panel), the actual frequency would usually be a lot lower than the rated 1Ghz frequency.
Since then, I've installed all the WinXP service packs, etc.
Now, when I look at the summary, the processor seems to always be at 996Mhz (this is with nothing much running and %cpu used only a few percent).
Battery life seems pretty mediocre, too.
Is there any way to determine is speedstep is properly implemented? Could all the service packs/updates have somehow messed with the power consumption stuff?
(Power scheme is laptop, as it has always been. I don't seen any options there specifically relating to the processor).
Thanks
