T61 - Half theCore speed at maximum performance mode.

Hello,
My T61 was bought during March 2008. I recently installed CPU-Z and was bit worried since under maximum performance mode, the CPU was not throttling to full speed (with AC power).
The core speed is showing approximately 1200MHz. FSB is showing around 800Mhz. It is a penryn T9300 processor and I believe it should be 2500Mhz. Is there a setting somewhere on the power options that needs to configured to attain the maximum core speed? OS is XP SP3 clean install.
Thanks for any help,
Regards,
Thanimai

You have to actually put quite some load to get the machine to work at its full throttle...while I'm typing this my ThinkPad is showing a core speed of 1199Mhz (it's a P4M 2.0) and trust you me, it would take quite a bit to get it up to the max, and your CPU is far newer and can take a lot more without shooting up...
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

Can I change the tempo of a section one track in Garageband 10? For example I would like a drum track to be half the speed of the overall tempo for 4 bars. Is this possible? Thanks.

E4200 - Runs half the speed compared to my old router

That may have solved one problem but try this one. Why does my E4200 seem to run less than half as fast as my old WRT310N?

No doubt, the router E4200 is among the excellent routers. I would like to ask few question before I suggest you for any troubleshooting steps. The speed issue that you are facing, that is with the wired connection or with the wireless connection?
If you are getting the concern with both wired and wireless connection then you can try the following settings..
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
          1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
          2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
         3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
         4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Half the speed on Samsung EVO 850 SSD

I just installed a Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD in my mid-2010 iMac with 27" monitor and 2.93GHz i7 processor. According to Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, I am only getting 255MB/s read and write speeds when the SSD is advertised as 2x this fast. Why am I only getting half the R/W speeds. Running the latest version of Yosemite.

I may have just discovered my own answer. My 2010 iMac I believe has a SATA II controller which operates at 3Gb/sec unlike SATA III which does 6Gb/sec. Is that the answer?

Quadro 4000 owners - Clock speed at maximum with Premiere or After effects

Hey guys,
I just upgraded my Quadro 2000 to a 4000 (latest driver 311.35, and I'm wondering if all your clock speeds jump to maximum when running premiere or after effects? Even if no editing or playback is going on and GPU load is at 0%? Or do they they throttle down when idle? I'm using GPU-Z to check.
Mine Throttle down once I leave Premiere (or After effects).... just wondering if anyone else is having the same experience. I know they run really hot when the clock pseeds are at maximum.
Also, I do have powermanagement set to "prefer maximum" and I'm using video editng mode for ny base profile.
Salud.

Yeah, nvidia got back to me and saud if you set your powermanagement to 'prefer maximum' any program that access the gpu (hardware acceleration for insrtance), the clock speeds will max out.
Thanks for teh reply!

5169 half bus speed ?

I have 4 PC's with k6/2 500 cpu's running win2k but all are running at half speed (50Mhz x 5 = 250Mhz), I have checked the jumper settings and they all say 100Mhz x 5 = 500Mhz I also have the latest bios in them all how do I correct this issue?

Just for the record...
Even though I have taken the bios down to v3.3 and even using a clean install I am still only getting halfbus speed. On boot up (dos screen) the cpu is set to 500Mhz but within win2k or using wcpuid I am only running at 5*50Mhz and have a real low PCmark bench. Very Anoying especially as we have 4 machine within the Company its a shame MSI never sorted out this problem...........
PS Mobo was V4

BT infinity installation - half the speed of the e...

After a long, long wait I was very pleased to see that Infinity was finally available in my area (from about 2 weeks ago), so I ordered it pretty much the moment I had a chance to do so. The estimate from BT's availability checker for FTTC was up to 51.7mbps down and up to 13.2 mbps up - somewhat better than I was getting on ADSL (<2mbps down and 200kbps up..).
On the day of the installation we requested that the modem & router be placed in our study, as the master socket is in the hallway and has no power nearby (we had previously run everything from an extension socket in the study). The contractor (not a BT engineer) decided that the current wiring was suitable, and so didn't make any changes to the master socket or to our internal wiring - pretty much just plugged things in and was on his way again, telling us that our speed should be stable within 10 days or so.
It's now been a week since the installation, and we are still achieving less than half of what BT's estimate suggested we should be getting.

Is there anything that we could try to increase the download speed, or is our line likely just awful? Don't get me wrong, I'm very pleased to be receiving 10 times what I was on ADSL, but I was hoping for more.

Why is the SSD on 2011 Macbook Air much slower then 2010 Macbook Pro with Samsung 830 SSD (less then half the speed) ?

Why is a laptop designed from ground up to use flash slower then a older laptop with a upgraded SSD from a 3rd party?
My old MBP is more then 2x the speed (read/write) with a SSD upgrade (Samsung 830) then my Air.
Any fixes or mods to boost the flash speed of the Air?

We would like you to show us how to do that.......Especially when the Samsung 830 will not fit the Air.....Please don't say duct tape....
Ok, scratch that idea. Let me think for a moment,,,em,,,em. OK I got it. Sell both units and buy a mid Macbook Air 2012 version.

T61 - Brightness always set to maximum after reboot on Vista

Hi all,
I was wonder if anyone has this problem before.
When you are logging onto a user account in Vista, first the brightness of the current powerplan takes over the brightness. Then the brightness goes to maximum a little bit after (it seems like it goes to full brightness when Intel Graphics Media accelerator loads up)
I've read the exact same problem from someone using XP, and the BIOS update (2.07-1.08) fixed it for them. Unfortunately I have updated the driver but the problem still exists.
Anyone have any idea or suggestions? I've checked the Intel driver and its at its latest update too.
Thanks
nogz

Hi dennischan,
Thank you for your suggestion, it worked! Much appreciated
I think it must be a combination of the Intel display driver and how the default power scheme brightness is applied during startup.
For anyone who finds this thread and has the same issue:
1) create a 'custom' powerplan setting as elaborated by dennischan
2) you might need to update your BIOS to 2.07-1.08 and Intel display adapter (it worked for another person, see thread below

BB line speed is now half the speed since moving t...

I would like to know why the line speed is now 0.77MB when it was more than 1.7MB when I started with BT.
We used to be able to watch films on ipad without problems but now this is not possible unless you want ro watch it minimised which is not acceptable.
I can't understand why BT thinks a line speed of 0.77MB is categorised as "good". This is NOT good.
Please help!

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results .
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Would upgrading my internet speed improve Netflix performance?

I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding netflix and ISPs which I'm not really interested in. I just know my netflix streaming is terrible right now and I would be willing to upgrade my internet speed if it meant that would improve. Any idea if it would? Thank you/

NO! Don't do it.
You'll just be throwing more money at Verizon with no change in performance. Realistically you could probably downgrade your speed, save yourself money, and see no change in your Netflix performance.

Less than half the Speed! CS: "its fine"

So i moved from virgin media to bt hoping that it would improve my broadband expierience.now i say to my self haha what a joke!
Well than i was intially estimated to get around 35mb dl - 10mb+ uploads when signing up in april, i remember that while ordering online. So i Got my services installed on 1st of May and while the engineer was present at my property running speedtest i was getting 36mb dwn and around 13mb up and low pings! Was well satisfied with that and he left. Soon that evening very same day my speeds dropped to about 14mb and it was like that till 6-7 days into DLM period but after phone call to bt cs they somehow got it upto around 22mbish.
Then i upgraded to infinity 2 even after considering the problems with this upgrade atm, well nothing to lose anyway not having great speeds in start.
I was estimated this:
yea thats right 61mb dl - 20mb up, my order compleated on 9th of May and i have seen absolutly no change in my connection whatsoever!
I called up bt earlier today and the CS from abroad told me its fine sir!! this is within our estimated level and our record show this is the speed you would be recieving from us!.
what a joke of product.

Well i gave bt another call yesterday on 11th of may, spoke to someone in uk and they ran all the basic check everything but no good results, so he booked a engineer visit for 12th (today). Guess what? No one turned up hahahah, Thats bt for you, so followed up with another call in evening raging about this and someone now told me there is a network fault in my exchange (hayes north) and the problem is supposed to be fixed on monday followed by engineer visit on monday aswell at my property to check if everything is fine.
Lets see what happens on monday then

FTTC less than half the speed of neighbour who's f...

Before migrating to FTTC, I was getting 6.9Mbps and occasional dropouts. My neighbour was getting 3Mbps.
After migration to FTTC, my neighbour is getting 14.4mbps. I'm getting 6.0Mbps - slower than the previous standard ADSL to the exchange...
So far, BT are resisting fixing my problem. The cause seems obvious; my neighbour's line runs overhead to the cabinet, in a modern/copper cable bundle. My line runs underground in an old/aluminium bundle.
I suspect that my neighbour was switched from the underground cable to the overhead cable when he moved to BT Infinity 2; his estimated speed (during the negotiations) was 14.0Mbps. This shows that BT are aware that 14.0Mbps is achievable in our location.
Meanwhile, 40 yards closer to the exchange, I'm languishing on the aluminium bundle at 6.0Mbps. Might this be because I'm on a 3rd party ISP? They are complaining to BT, but BT is refusing to move my line.
Is this reasonable? I thought ADSL service providers were obligated to provide the fastest ADSL possible given the local circumstances?
Incidentally, I'm on the same cabinet as my neighbour, and I'm in port #1, the implication being that I probably migrated to FTTC before my neighbour.

when installing FTTC the existing phone cable from your home to the cabinet is used and then it is fibre to the cab from exchange. There is no changing the line.
It is opnereach that are responsible for the installation of fibre and there is nothing our ISP BT Retail can do to help you. you need to pursue your problem with your own ISP who in turn will contact openreach
openreach have made it clear many time that they will not change your line to another just to improve your broadband connection - need to show there is a fault which requires engineer visit
Sorry but you need to get your ISP involved

Error during software update, slow browsing speed and maximum force quits ?

I have a mac book. Today i was doing software update, it gave me an error "operation could not be completed, connection reset by peer" ? now what does that mean?
I had recently downloaded open office application which i have deleted it. Further my internet browser are so slow that i feel surfing in stone age.
Besides, i have seen my system is getting pretty slow and i have to use force quit as some operation do not respond to the request.
What to do?

Hello,
Regarding the error in software update: It just means you lost your internet connection, but it was the fault of something on your side, not Apple's side. Try again later, or better yet, try it somewhere else. Sounds like your internet setup (your router, modem, etc) is having problems.

Wireless half the speed of WIRED

Is this common?
Ran a test on speedtest.net via ethernet and I got 9.8 MBPS and via wireless it is 4.28 MBPS
I am using a WRT160N Version 1 Router
My wireless card is a G and my ISP claims 10 Mbps transfer rates.

No,it is not common.Yiu can check for the firewall and turned it off on the wireless computer.As your wireless computer is using a G-Series card,so it could be the one reason.On the linksys setup page you may try by changing the Network Mode to "mixed" or "BG-Mixed" .
If the above step doesn't resolve your problem then,try to upgrade the router's firmware.Firmware is available here.
