    Im not sure exactly but my Dell XPS M1530 underclocks when it runs on battery power.

    Are you getting 1.6Ghz when on battery or when your connected to a power supply?

    Check that stealth mode isn't on, and also check that it's in High performance mode. Oh and also give it something to do. Speed step will lower it when idle to reduce heat.
