Hi Herbert, ... does it feel equally slower when on cord as when on battery? Nowadays, some clever processors "dumb down" to promote battery stamina, my 1 GHz...
Hi Herbert, ... sorry, confused what machine uses AMD... Have you checked BIOS settings for the CPU? Have you compared via Task Manager what processes are...
... No - what should I be looking for? ... I can't at the moment, because I finally gave up trying to sort out the plethora of different problems I had on my...
