Core Duo

I did quick searches on google but didn't see any detailed info about the power settings of these.
With my Lenovo V100 I always see CPU speed as below 1ghz. Not that it's slow, but it says that even when I have it plugged in. With it plugged in, I want the option to get the full 1.66ghz out of it. Of course on battery, I want the maximum life possible.
The only control I have is with Windows, which is insufficient. Is there any way to manually control the speed of the Core Duo?

Whould you be talking about one of these?

what you need my friend is this

you will want to add it to startup with windows to auto down speed and voltage.
irrc eist voltage at 1ghz is 1v for all core duo cpu's.

*edit*
err well this is the proggy

Yes, but I figured since I was focusing on an Intel CPU, the Intel CPU forum would be the place to go.

I'll give that a try.

I think I got it anyway, XP and CPU-Z just don't measure it right. That crystal CPU thing shows 980mhz when it's on battery and 1.6ghz when I plug it in, which is what I want anyway. Goes down to 13 watts on battery, that's awesome. Not like my mom's with a P4, that thing eats battery power like crazy.

my 1.7ghz dothan laptop can go down to 733mhz i think at its slowest. when i'm not plugged in, if i want full power, i just right click the battery icon in my taskbar, and set it to "always on". setting it to "max battery" turns off the screen after just a few minutes, and runs the cpu at 733mhz. its awesome, i can get almost a full 4 hours of use out of it, and that's when i'm actually doing stuff on the machine.
