Hi,
I know this is a really old processor, but I'm wondering if anyone has any idea why my T2400 reduces its clock speed when I'm doing things on my computer. A lot of times I'm just streaming a video from Youtube or I'm trying to watch a 720p movie and it starts to lag and my CPU goes to 100%. I check the properties and it shows something like 987Mhz as opposed to 1.83Ghz at full speed. Because I'm using the CPU, isn't SpeedStep supposed to keep the clock speed high instead of stepping it down?
Does anyone know why this is happening? After a few minutes of idling (e.g. stopping playback), the speed goes back up to 1.83 Ghz. I'm totally confused by this behaviour and it's pretty annoying. Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks.
