    It's clocked down to save battery life. The technology is called intel speedstep.

    When plugged in and under load it will hop up to it's full speed of 2.0GHz. To manually control it, consider a program like notebook hardware control.

    RM Clock is another utility you can use to do so, but as long as it responds when needed, I don't really see the need to force it into a higher power setting.

    You can upgrade to the professional version. Is that what you're talking about?

    Some resellers will apply the Artic Silver 5 on your system for you when they assemble it.

    And regarding the key for NHC: we do not allow discussion about illegally obtained software or methods of obtaining such software in our forums.

    The cost to upgrade your NHC license is really not that much--why don't you just pay for it and help the project?
