Turn OFF SPEEDSTEPPING Speed Stepping on Toshiba?

Can someone please tell me how to do this

I dont see an option in the BIOS.

I have a Satelite Pro A200

Having problems running a audio application. Requires me to turn this off!

 

You can essentially, temporarily, disable speed step by setting your computer in "High Performance mode" in Windows Vista or by setting "Always On" in Windows XP in the powerplug/battery icon in the bottom right hand corner of your screen near the clock.

 

hey

thanks.

did that already. everything is set to never(always on). still having issues. can you think of anything else?

 

I know a definate way but you will need to install RMclock. What cpu do you have?

 

whatever will do the trick! thanks for your help:

Intel Core 2 Duo T7250

 

Download RMclock from my guide and only follow Step 2 and 3. Let me know once you have done that

 

all done 2 and 3

 

Ill assume your default voltages were detected correctly.

Okay now go into the 'Maximal Performance' subprofile.

-Tick Use PST transitions box for AC power.
-Choose a multiplier on which multiplier you want your CPU to run on

6x - 1.2ghz
7x - 1.4ghz
8x - 1.6ghz
9x - 1.8ghz
10 - 2.0ghz

After choosing a multiplier, Go to the Main profile page and choose Maximal Performance on the drop down boxes for Current AC Power and startup > Hit APPLY

Your CPU should now be locked on whatever speed you choose.

 

i didnt really understand the multiplier part. i chose 10 because my CPU is a 2GHZ. does that make sense?

 

Yes. If you want it to run on full speed then choose 10.

Was it successful?

 

it is and it isn't. it IS definatly stabalized. in this audio prog (guitar rig 3) it would jump 5 to 6%. i belive this was because of the speedstepping. now it will fluxuate with only 1%. seems acceptable.


the only problem is that the red CPU overload icon in the audio app is going red which means there is something wrong. any ideas to fix.

THANK YOU so much for the help. a def improvement.

 

can you post a screenshot? Not sure what your talking about.

 

its so program specific i think i would be wasting your time. sorry for *almost* wasting your time. again, it is a BIG improvement with your guide. BIG!

would you recommened maxing out the CPU or going a little under?

 

That will depend on the CPU utilisation of your application. Try it a 6x and see if the output is OK. If so, then the CPU will be cooler and the fan less busy. If 6x is not OK, try 8x.

just an update. i thought this helped my problem but the CPU still stutters. im out of ideas!
