    I can't get my CPU speed past 1Ghz unless I use RightMark... I have installed fresh copy of Vista, and before the install it wasn't working either. I set the power options to High Performance. Still nothing. I run Prime95, stays at 1Ghz, I check with CPUId and the volts jump to 1.33, and back down to 1.03, but the Ghz still stays the same at 1Ghz. No options in the BIOS, no support in the updated BIOS page.... I even took the case apart and blew out the dust, still nothing. Laptop is plugged in. No dice. I am at my minds end and about to shoot the thing. I knew I should have stuck with a desktop... ;(

    Are you on battery or power saving mode?

    No battery 100%, plugged into the wall, and its set to high performance.

    I'm almost sure I suggested this on the other threads dealing with this issue, so apologies for the repetition.

    Try reinstalling or updating the ATK drivers and applications.

    Also, what is the argument against using RightMark RMClock?
