CPU frequency question

[Bisounoursll]

Hi all,
I have juste bought a VGN-A115B and I seem to have a problem with my CPU frequency. Even if I use the "performance" option in the "power management pannel", windows says me tue cpu runs at 1,5Ghz, which is a good thing but the Sony Notebook setup says me it runs at 600 Mhz.
Can anybody help me to use my notebook at the highest speed ??

PS : i hope you understand me, sorry i am French...

The Sony Notebook Setup shows you the current speed of the CPU, not the total.

That is to say ? What do you call the total ?

I tried to encode a divx and the cpu stays at 600Mhz for vaio setup. So even if it is the current spped it must have been 1500Mhz at this moment !!

J'explique en France pour toi, desole si mon Francais est mauvais!

Alors dans "Sony Notebook Setup" ca montre l'usage CPU au moment, cars dans "powerpannel", ca montre la puissance du CPU, alors ca peut processer jusqua 1500Mhz

ok that's what i had understood !
but the problem is that in the notebook setup the CPU is always at 600 Mhz whatever the power choice or the programs running.
How can i make my PC run at 1500 really ?

Even in Performance the pc is very slow and encoding a divx for instance is a meer nightmare !

you can answer in English ! i don't speak perfectly but i understand.

Yes its handy being multinational :smileygrin:

I'm not sure why it's supposedly running at 600Mhz, so I would suggest checking the speed using SiSoft Sandra 2004, it tells you a lot of things about the computer.

[Bisounoursll]

lol :smileygrin:
ok so I will check with sisoft Sandra and study the problem.
