A program to maximize CPU performance?

[MrRoberts]

Hello all,

I have a nice Acer laptop called 8930G with 2 x 2.26GHz, 4GB DDR3, Nvidia 9700M GT and 2 x 120GB SATA Black Scorpio hard drive.

I want to know if there is a program to disable the Intel speedstep on the cpu and maintain maximum cpu performance?

Thanks

On bootup enter the Bios and disable Intel speedstep and C1e.

Not with Acer Aspire laptop. There are no such configurations under the BIOS.

Why do you want to do this, out of curiosity? You might just be better off tweaking the power management settings in your OS so that your CPU doesn't throttle when you don't want it to.

if ur that hardup for performance you need an upgrade.

Vista doesn't have that function like XP where you can simply switch to maximum cpu performance.

It will throttle no matter what.

It should assuming your BIOS and drivers correctly identify those features.

The Acer tools allow you to adjust this.

Vista sure does. You need to edit the power profile and change the Minimum CPU Frequency to 100% instead of the default. You could also create a NEW power profile and apply those same settings.

I have done that before post this message and it doesn't. Look on google and many are complaining about the same thing.

Don't know what to say, it works fine on my C2D laptop.

so what are you doing that needs so much performance.

You understand speedstep only kicks in when your cpu is idling right?

study up on overclocking.

caution: a laptop doesn't accommodate the better-than-stock cpu cooling that a desktop pc does, so be v e r y conservative with your laptop overclocks.
