i'm using amd's central brain identifier and it tells me that my ac5002 with the turion 64bit 3000+ is at a current 800mhz speed. it's peak should be 1.6ghz.
the problem i have is, i'm running vmware workstation. i'm plugged into AC power. i have 1gig ram, using 32mb for video. but it's still slower then my home pc with is like an athlon xp 2500+
what gives?
i wanted to run 2 virtual machines each with 256mb ram. as is, i'm having a hard time doing one.
any way i can up the cpu speed?
-
disable Cool n Quiet?
-
i also found this on vmware support site - http://www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1227
will at least help me run my virtual machines faster.
and how do i disable cool and quite?
i dont have the option for that on the cpu for the mmc device manager -
Set your power setting to "Always On" or "Home Office/Desktop". It will disable cool n quiet and set your processor to its max speed.

And, it's probably running slow due to your 512MB RAM, get 1024MB in there to really speed up things.
I noticed a big difference going from 512MB to 1024MB. -
already upgraded to ddr400 1gig. gonna put another 1gig into it eventually.
so now that i got the cool and quite disabled. for now at least.
is it ok for the laptop to be on alot? like 24/7
i dont care if in 3 years it'll break. but i wanna at least get 2 years outta it lol
got 1 year warranty for now.... so yeah. should i push it this hard? -

Well, the computer is designed to run....but, I would say that you might want to push the warranty to a total of two or three years if you are going to be running it at full speed, 24/7 like that. I don't have mine on 24/7, but it still gets hot enough that I turn it off every once in a while.
I would really suggest getting a notebook cooling pad for your computer - it might increase it's life.
turion 3000 running kinda slow?
