Do you notice if your notebook processor performance is not running optimal even though you plug AC adapter? This is caused by Intel SpeedStep to minimize power draw and heat dissipation.

I guess you have tried to solve this problem when you are not using battery as the power source. If you tried to use Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) to lock your processor speed as maximum speed, you will find the processor speed is still not locked as maximum speed because NHC does not disable the Intel Centrino Core Duo and Core 2 Duo Intel SpeedStep.

The solution is to use RightMark CPU Clock Utility to lock and optimize the Intel Core Duo or Intel Core 2 Duo processor speed. Do not forget to set the Power Options (in control panel) to “High Performance” (Windows Vista/ Windows 7) or “Always On” (Windows XP).

Power Options - Set to High Performance
