Dell E1505 - need help with SpeedStep and clock multiplier

[Kingfish999]

does that mean nothing more can be done? what are you seeing that determined that? of were you thinking it was the battery and it isnt?

This problem is related to the power consumption. Your battery works fine, but the voltage converter for it (on the motherboard) doesn't work properly.

hmmm not the best of news. i guess ill be stuck running it as is and then us ThrottleStop to control it. it seams i can run pretty stable at 12 multiplier on battery. 2ghz dual core is still better than 1.6ghz single core and when plugged in ill bump it to 14 mult for the full 2.3ghz. only small issue would be it still boots at 1ghz so startup time isnt the best. but since its only XP with few startup programs and a SSD, its really not that bad regardless. i doubt theres gonna be an easy way to enable a higher multiplier even if modifying the bios. also it seems as that ill be stuck at a locked multiplier i set, is there a way to limit the multiplier without locking it at a specific multiplier?

There is a small chance that is Windows XP's problem. Try to install Windows 7 (with SP1).

maybe 1 day but i think im happy with this for now. thats quite abit of work to jsut test it. i decided on XP on this for a few reasons despite me having 7 on everything else i own. the primary purpose of this laptop is to use a couple old programs that dont work correctly with Win 7 that i need to program the tuner in my trucks

You can exchange your T7600 to cheap T7200 with 12x multiplier.
