I've got a work-issued IBM Thinkpad T42 with a 1.7GHz Pentium M CPU. Had an application cop out because it reported that it required a 1.0GHz or faster processor. Open up Control Panel, System, and it's reporting that it's a 1.7GHz processor running at 599MHz! So, I reboot to open the BIOS, the chip speed under AC power was set to Automatic, and I change it to Maximum Performance. Save and reboot, System is now reporting 1.7GHz and running at that speed. Woot. I find and download CPU-z, just to verify some other things, and am surprised to see the FSB is only reporting 99.9MHz. (The Bus Speed is reporting 399.7MHz.) Is that a tad low for the FSB? Since we're using Group 1 Software's DOC1 application, I would like to maximize performance as this thing is extremely resource hungry. FWIW, we are *very* well air-conditioned here. Too cold for my liking, actually. So, I'm not concerned about over-heating. Comments / advice on this topic is very much welcomed! - Dan
