I have had no luck on this issue so far. The system is *not* running on batteries. Running the Intel Processor ID Utility on Windows2k shows similar results: Expected Frequency: 2.00 GHz, Actual Frequency: 1.29 GHz. All relevant BIOS settings are set for maximum performance. Enabling or disabling Intel Speed Step technology in the BIOS settings has no effect whatsoever. Resetting the BIOS to poweron defaults (which implies having to re-apply the no-1802 fix for the Atheros based mini-PCI wi-fi card) temporarily fixed the problem. But it re-appeared a short while thereafter, without anyone having screwed with the BIOS settings in the meantime. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. -- Keep it icy man. I don't want to end up a corpse before my time because you were daydreaming.
