    Well, you know how if you click start menu and right click on my computer it gives you the computer like how many gigz it runs and how much ram you have. wellf or some reason everytime i Right click it, it'll tell me either 775MHZ sometimes or mostly 1.58Gz and 2.59Gz. when it suppose to be 2.59Gz constantly I would think because the MX7515 is a 2.6Gz comp. with any solutions to this please help me anyone!!

    When you are not doing anything too demanding it cuts the CPU clock to save on battery life. Both AMD and Intel do it. AMD's version is called PowerNow and Intels is SpeedStep.

    Mantis, did you unstall the ATI drivers before installing the Omega drivers?

    I'm at work now and going out this evening, I won't be able to get to my laptop till tomorrow however I'm almost positive that was the root cause of your problem regarding the Omega drivers. When I downloaded and went through the install a window popped up and explicitly stated to uninstall certain ATI software (from add/remove programs) before continuing install.

    Oh yeah... I should be getting my Hitachi 80GB 7200rpm travelstar tomorrow.. muhahahhahahahahahaaaaa
