    I just received my notepad and I noticed that the CPU clockspeed is always at 2 GHz. Now I remember in XP one had to enable 'speedstep' from within the 'screen saver' menu, and in Vista it appears like they made a whole new item for power management. But I don't see any option to enable the CPU to clock down on low usage. Am I missing anything here?

    My CPU is a Intel c2d T7250.

    what are you using to see the cpu speed?
    because im pretty sure it should be set properly by default

    I tried the NoteBooke Hardware Control, it displays the load and the frequency in the same tab.
