Help with Laptop Processor speed?

[Peacemaker]

I got a new laptop for christmas. Fired up COD II on it and it ran like a crock of shit. The specs on the computer are relativly good...

3200+ 64 Bit Vince (SP) processor.. its not a mobile processor. I ran CPU-Z on it for electro... its a HP ZV6000... electros first imrpession was that it was crap... HP hasnt put out good products... untill now I guess. This Laptop has VERY good specs. It still needs a stick of ram but the processor is good. So I thought.

After running CPU-Z on it to see why it was running so slow it shows that the processor that is SUPPOSED to be 2ghz is 1 ghz. Its running at 997ish core speed... 5x multiplyer with a 200 HTT (donno what this is but rob says that times my multiplyer is my true core speed)... Its SUPPOSED to be double this, 400 fsb and 2ghz. Anyone wanna help me out?

ATI X200 Mobile Card Oh yea... rob told me that it supposed to be 10x multiplyer with 200 fsb...

Many times laptop processors are variable speed.

any way to keep it at 10x muilt like it should be? Battery life isnt an issue as its always pluged in.

thats your fucking problem right there. that card is comlpete ass. its integrated memory and its an ass for a card to play games.

I know its what I have in my laptop.

Check your power saver settings - most often laptop ramp down processor speed when not under load to conserve battery power. There should be an AC mode where the CPU runs full speed when plugged into the wall.

@ OMA. Thanks oma. I have one of those ports on my laptop anything you can suggest to replace it with?

@ Mars - Thats the thing though. Its ALWAYS plugged into the wall.

heh thats the beauty of laptops... cant really replace the video card....

I mean of course its not impossible, but its way more advanced than on a desktop.... you're stuck with it.

just do what i do, and turn all PS settings to thier lowest and you should get 30+ fps 80% of the time

laptops with that replaceable card thing are not all that hard to upgrade, it's getting hold of the upgrade card that's hard.

Call up HP.
