hi...
i have a few problems with my computers
1. Desktop
P4 3.2GHz, 3 x 1GB RAM @ 200MHz, Virtual Memory 1024MB to 4096MB, ATI 9650 (dual mon attached)
HDD1: IDE 400GB (virtual mem here, in a 120GB system partition where all the OS and needed apps are stored)
HDD2: SATA 1TB
Monitor 1: 1680x1024
Monitor 2: 1360x768
Problem #1: using CPUZ, sometimes, it runs at 3.2GHz, sometimes, it runs at 2.8GHz... doing the same thing. this value remains constant from startup to shut down. how do i make it 3.2GHz all the way?
Problem #2: it uses high amounts of CPU for the simplest tasks.
it seems like i will have problems with this on every even number installation (lol, i know, it's unscientific), even when i switch to using single monitor. using Google Chrome as an example, it uses roughly 60% CPU to open it. and the CPU runs at 100% whenever im doing something, and under 10% whenever im not doing something.
Problem #3: right clicking is not smooth - high lag.
whenever i right click on something, i'll have to wait for a sec or two.
Laptop:
Dual Core 1.7GHz, 3 x 1GB RAM @ 333MHz
Problem #1: i have the battery profile set at "High Performance".
whenever i plug in the power, it runs at the full 1.7GHz, but whenever the power is unplugged, it runs at only 1GHz. this speed does not increase when im using CPU intensive apps. how do i make it run at 1.7GHz all the time?
thanks.
