Hey all,
I bought a Dell XPS m1530 a little while ago with a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The problem I'm having with it is that when playing games like Team Fortress 2, the processor scales back from 2.4Ghz and starts running at under 1.6Ghz. This mean I'm going from over 100fps when nothings happening to under 15fps when in there's any sort of action. I'm running vista and have put the power setting to maximum performance, and am using CPU-Z to monitor the core speed. Anyone have any clue how to fix this?
Specs:
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo t8300 2.4Ghz
Ram - 3gb
Video Card - nvidea gforce 8600m gt (latest drivers)
