Steps to Enhance CPU performance:
# Take time to read these instructions. Flashing BIOS can come with risks, but this procedure did work for me...
# Check BIOS version. I had version 3010, which didn't support "speedstep" feature, but version 3012 does (which means you need to download version, and flash your BIOS).
# I have dual boot, so decided to perform the BIOS flash in my '''MS WIndows XP ''' portion of notebook:
:# Boot netbook into MS Windows (not Ubuntu Linux)
:# Go to following page to download most recent BIOS version from ACER webpage: [<font>[http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=5&modelId=1112 http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=5&modelId=1112]</font>]
:# Right-click on the '''WinPhlash''' file and then select '''Run'''.
:# You will be prompted for ''authorization''. Select by account, then '''enter your administrator account name and password'''.
:# Carefully read all instructions before proceeding with flashing your BIOS. Your machine should be plugged in. It would be a bad, bad thing if your machine is powered off in the middle of flashing your BIOS! The decision to flash you BIOS is yours, not mine.
