    I have noticed an interesting issue with my new e6400. Whenever my system is on battery power, my processor speed maxes out at 783 MHz no matter the load on the system. I am starting to find this pretty annoying. Even when my usage is up to 100% the processor does not speed up to its max of 2.53 GHz causing my laptop to run pretty slow.

    Any ideas? I cant find a setting to speed up the CPU clock

    check your power settings under the battery in bottom right corner of you screen-by default Vista may switch to power saver when you run on a battery only . Hope this helps :)

    Solved it for myself... I had to take my computer off of the Laptop power profile and set it to home/office
