I got this core 2 duo dell inspiron 1720 from my aunt, and it is slooooooow. Much slower than a dual core processor machine should be.
I took this snapshot of cpu-z running, and this is with prime95 running torture test in the background.
Is my processor really running at 600mhz?
I looked in the bios, and speedstep is enabled. Apparently if you disable speedstep it will always run at the slowest setting, so I left it enabled.
While also running prime95, I took this snapshot of "openhardwaremonitor" and it doesn't match cpu-z . I'm confused. I would like my laptop to run at 2.4ghz damnit!.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm sure I've overlooked something stupid.
