    it has to run slower when the its running on the battery otherwise it dies faster. this is CPU throttling

    if you go into the bios on the laptop and look at the advanced options you should find something about CPU throttling. set it to disabled and it will run full speed all the time but it wont help your battery life

    What's it say when you're playing games?

    it says 1.3 mhz now sometimes so it just jumps up speed when it needs to?

    i also think that when the processor gets warm and wants to cool down as well as power save options it sometimes only runs at a certain speed.
