    ok i have a zv6000 series with the AMD 64bit processor. from the reviews ive read the 6000's are suppose to run at 2 GHz but im only getting one. i just upgraded my RAM so now i have 1.25GB of ram but im still running at 1GHz. so how do i get the full 2GHZ's out of my processor.

    its on powersave mode (the CPU will downclock to save battery life)
    you have to go to the power properties and have it run in desktop mode, then the CPU will constantly run 2.0GHz.

    but i recommend that you run it in powersave mode, because you will get longer battery life, and when the CPU needs it, it will speed up to 2.0GHz automaticaly.

    this is called: AMD PowerNOW! Technology

    just look it up at www.AMD.com
