    Hey, I have a TX1000 which I recently 'downgraded' from Vista to XP (huge performance boost, everyone should do it!).
    I'm using NHC to emulate the CPU clocking used in Vista (High Performance, Max Battery, Balanced), this solution worked fine for about a day, with speeds at 800Mhz with power saving, upto 1.8Ghz with performance (the proc is a TL-56)... However...Now the processor seems to 'stick' at 800Mhz whenever the notebook isn't plugged into AC power, even changing the speed profile doesn't change the clock speed (Measured using CPUZ). When the laptop is running on AC power, everything works fine.

    Has anyone else had this issue?

    Check the bios and change the power saving profile or something like that if there is any. I know with processor with speedstep you had to do that in the bios so give it a try
