I run CPUZ the 64-bit edition.
it constantly fluctuates in the 1596.XX range and there are 2 cores CPUZ reports the CPU Model correctly as 45nm and T9400 2.53Ghz.
Is this normal why does it do this .....
I was wondering why my CPU would go over its factory clock speed when i didn't even overclock it its kinda weird this is what its getting
View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there drivers, or software, that allow access and the bility to tweak the core clock speed on the FX 1700M video card in my M4400? I beleive the FX 1700M consumes an extra 15W of power (over the 770M) simply because it is clocked faster.

I'm trying to decide whether to get the Vaio Z with 3 usb ports or 2 usb ports and 1 iLink port. If the iLink port is a lot faster then the usb ports i'll probably get it with an ilink port. If it's a slow ilink port (400 mbps) then i'll probably get the laptop with 3 usb ports.
It would be nice if it comes with a fast ilink port (800mbps) so i can get a faster connection if i connect the laptop to an external hard drive.
I've finally got my MacBook Pro 17" specced with Glossy screen, Core i7-620M and GeForce GT330M fully up and running!
I've been replacing the 5400RPM 500GB hard drive with a Intel X25-M 80GB Gen2, along with replaced the 2x 2GB 1066MHz RAM with a pair of nice Kingston 1600MHz @ CL7 2x 2GB ones.
is the fact that Windows7 computer rating tells me that my RAM is the slowest hardware in my machine? So I was checking it's settings, and the MacBook Pro keeps them at 1066MHz @ CL8?
Which is insane considering the potential of these Kingston memory modules!
Is there no way (as there obviously is no BIOS to deal with on Mac hardware) to somehow improve the memory settings?
I bought a ThinkPad X240 recently.  On Lenovo's website, it says the max speed is 3.30 GHz.  However, in the Windows 8.1 Task Manager, it says the maximum speed is 2.69 GHz.  See [URL] ....
Â
Why there is a discrepancy? Â I also tried running Prime 95 for a little while and noticed that the "Speed" in Task Manager never went above 2.70 GHz. Â Did I somehow get a weird i7-4600U processor that has a max speed of only 2.7 GHz?
i have an 7200 in my 9400. i will do an performance upgrade... wich cpu is better for that: the 2700 oder the 7400..
the 2700 has 2.33 ghz but only 2 meg cache.. the 7400 has 2.16 ghz but 4 meg chache...
or should i keep my 7200....
I bought the Acer 1410 with the single core SU3500 Core 2 Solo CPU. It looks like Acer decided to release them with the SU2300 now, which is dual core at 1.2GHz (compared with 1.4GHz of SU3500).
Does anyone have any benchmarks comparing the two, and/or if they have a solid understanding how much better it would perform compared with the SU3500? I also see that the single core AS1410 with Celeron M @ 1.3GHz sells at the same price as the dual core.

upgrading my Aspire 5570 notebook more than a year ago. This time, I’m feeling lucky to share some of my experiences about how I finally upgraded my CPU from a Core Solo T1350Core 2 Duo T7200.
Again, thanks to everybody here in Notebookreview forum especially adinu, hoggie, Mack1982, TehSuigi, krazyphire and bigozone for their insights and knowledge that helps me a lot throughout the whole process. So, let’s get started!
Pre-upgrading
Please refer to these post before you start. It'll save you a lot of time and trouble later on.
Upgraded Acer 3680 Celeron CPU to a T5300!
Aspire 5315 CPU Step-by-Step Upgrade Guide
What you’ll need :Your new CPU (make sure it's compatible with your system ie; socket, FSB)Latest BIOS from Acer (upgraded to 1.3505 or latest)A good thermal paste (I would recommend Tuniq TX-2 or Arctic Silver 5 as well)Basic tools (screwdrivers, forceps, kitchen paper)Body static discharger (I would definitely recommend this as a precaution)Some alcohol, ear buds, sand paper grid 600,1200 & 2000 (optional for heat sink lapping)Lastly TIME and PATIENCE (you’ll be needing these a lot definitely!)When you’re ready, lets get our hands dirty.
How to disassemble your notebook?
I found out a very good video tutorial on how to disassemble my Aspire notebook on YouTube. So please take your time to view it and follow step by step as shown to help you to go through the process.
Lapping your heat sink (optional)
Although it’s not necessary, but I would recommend this process as another way to improve heat dissipation on your newly installed CPU. Refer to this page for detailed instructions.
The simple process:Clean your heat sink from old thermal paste residues with alcohol or equivalent of it using ear buds and kitchen papers.Apply a 600-grid sandpaper to smoothen the heat sink surface which comes into contact with your CPU.Repeat the process again with a 1200-gid sand paper until you’re satisfied.Finally, finish up by applying a 2000-grid sand paper to give you an almost mirror-finished surface. Wipe clean any dirt and residues left.....................................
I will be buying a new laptop to replace my Acer Aspire 5738G.
I am considering HP Dv8t Quad Core i7 or HP Probook 4720s.
I am a web developer and I some time use my laptop continuously for 2-3 days.
choosing between these 2 laptops, which one will be better for me?
I want to upgrade my old laptop to something nice, and am torn between to systems.
An HDX 16 with:
2.40 Ghz dual core duo ( P8600 chip )
6 gigs of ram
OR...
An HXD 18 with
2.0 Ghz QUAD core ( QX9000 chip )
4 gigs of ram
both systems have the same video card ( Nvidia with 512megs of ram ) 500 gig hard drive.
What would be the faster machine for doing video ? and what would be the overall faster machine ?
I realize that not all applications will take advantage of a quad-core chip like the QX900, so this is why I"m asking. if the dual-core P8600 chip @ 2.40 Ghz in the HP HDX 16 with that 6 gigs of ram will actually be faster overall than the quad core would be, and perhaps even be faster at rendering video ?
Which one is the latest and fastest between intel core 2 duo T series and core 2 duo SU series processors?
Dell's inspiron 14z comes with intel core 2 duo SU processor options ....
I have an xps m1710 with 2 gig ram, 7900gtx card and a core duo 2 ghtz processor. My company has decided they are willing to pay to upgrade my CPU to a core 2 due 2.16 ghtz. Should I take the upgrade?
Aside from the fact thats free and all, my real concern if it will yield better gaming performance and battery life.
regarding new laptops in regards to your choice of the two.......
View 10 Replies View RelatedA lot of people don't know which processor to get so check out this great video. He really does an excellent job comparing the 2. Helped me decide that the core i5 was better for what I need. There is not much difference between the GPU's vram according to the benchmarks.
YouTube - 2.4 GHz Core i5 or Core i7 2.66 GHz MacBook Pro? i5 vs i7 Benchmarks & Which one you should get!
what the performance difference is between the Intel Core i7-620M and the . Intel Core i7-820QM. I always thought the quad core 820QM was faster, but on the hp website the dual core 620M is more expensive.
Is the 620M faster? And is it faster for specific things only?
Just for curiousity what's your Windows Experience index (could you please include processor, memory, graphics, hard drive) for those people who own the Dell XPS 16 with core i7.
Feel free to mention yours regardless of your specs, but if you have these specs below please let me know
core i7 - 720qm 1.6GHz
6gb RAM 1333MHz
ati 4670 graphics card
640GB hard drive 5400 rpm
Some people already know this but I don't think there was an official notice thread made about it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a core duo, not core 2duo, t2400 running at 1.83 GHz in my dell e1705...
what kinds of Core 2 Duo processor I can replace it with? can i do the new 700's with the 4mb cache?
I have a 256mb nVidia Go 7900 video card, so thats the kinda motherboard I have.
will i see alot of gain by replacing my processor?
I only have one gig of RAM... should i just upgrade to two and forget the processor?
I just reinstall windows xp pro on my dell inspiron 9200 and it show that I only useing 600MHZ CPU speed eventhough I have 2GHZ...
I used to change it back to 2GHZ nad I forgot how to do it..
I have a dell sxps 13 right here alongside a white 13" macbook from 2007.
I bought a ssd not too long ago for the sxps and just tested the boot time between the two.
now HOW in the *insert cuss word* world does the macbook still beat the ssd in boot up time? Anyone care to elaborate on this .....
how do i change my fan speed?
View 10 Replies View Relatedi am looking at dell laptop, inspiron vs latitude (both have lots of promotion going on recently)
according to wiki, both e6400 and e6500 can support ram clockspeed at 800mhz, but i can't find similar information about the inspiron models.
Is this reasonable? Please see HDTune screenshot.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWith a throttling issue fix on the rails and the ability to push this baby to the max, I'm planning to offer my precious a little SSD upgrade.
I've been interrested in the Intel X25-M Mainstream 2.5in 160GB SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Solid State Drive (SSDSA2MH160G2R5) which I can get at a descent price here in Japan.
As I'm not an SSD expert, I don't know if such choice is wise.
I'm thinking about upgrading to Core i7 for my laptop (Studio 1555, since I run games and stuff on it, and don't have enough resources to build my own PC.
I researched, but I always like asking to make sure... does the PM45 chipset support i7 processors? I usually know this stuff, but i* is pretty new, and I'm running behind.
I currently have a freshly undervolted Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz (I forget the model number).
GPUZ shows my gpu core clock at 399.9mhz and it doesn't move - this is on my 4670 replacement that I received two days ago.
Everything is on "high performance".
What are others getting for this setting? I thought this was supposed to be 675.

They say it's available now... But it isn't on the site yet. I know the platform is released in a couple of days, so these people probably are just a bit off.
My XPS 16 is still in the mail on it's way to me. Now I'm seriously thinking about returning it and waiting... I pulled the trigger knowing DX11 hardware was right around the corner..
But as it's a laptop and not my main gaming machine I figured it wouldn't matter much as the 4670 is still a beast and can handle all the new windows 7 features.
Just curious they are both 45nm but the Core i7 is using up 45watts TDP vs the Core 2 Duo only 35watts TDP
any other roadblocks or will it just not fit.
I think the mobile Core i7 has 4 Cores each Hyperthreading they should be very fast.
