    If you download this file http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/utilities/AMDPowernowver3.04.EXE install then right click and select compatibility mode. Select Windows 2000. You can now check the power properties and there is a new option "AMD PowerNow ™ Technology" one of the options is High performance mode.
