Laptops usually have power management designed to extend the
battery life. This is done by slowing the operation and
therefore the power required.
Check the HP manual for details on your setup.

Yes, to extend battery life, laptops are underclockd.

| Hi
|
| I have a hp ze4231 notebook.  This machine is supposed to 
have a P4 mobile

setup I get the
| following output.  I  am concerned about the CPU speed - 
does this say that
| it is running at 1196 hz rather than than 2 ghz?  If so, 
what can I do to
| increase the speed to 2 ghz?   Am I 'underclocked' ?
