Disabling AMD PowerNow or AMDK7.SYS ?
I'm using my laptop (Athlon XP-M 3000+) as a desktop replacement
and I want to disable PowerNow completely in WinXP so it will always run in full throttle. I have my power scheme set to "Alway On" but still the CPU doesn't seem to run 800MHz. The max speed should be 1.6GHz.. It seems the driver "amdk7.sys" manages the PowerNow functionality. Is there any way to disable this unwanted feature? Thanks! Bram

Try asking the folks that designed it.

instead of "Always On", set the profile to "Home/Office Desktop".

Check in your BIOS settings. You didn't specify what laptop, etc. but
generally that kind of throttling is handled at the BIOS level rather than the OS. -- Walter Clayton Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. http://www.dts-l.org "Bram" wrote in message om...
