Steps to Enhance CPU performance:
# Attention: Take time to read these instructions. Flashing BIOS can come with risksand I take no responsibilities of any disasters encountered, 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:
:# 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.
:# Proceed with the flashing of your BIOS. When completed, the system will reboot.
# When the system has rebooted, select Ubuntu Linux.
# There is an applet for the Gnome panel called '''CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor'''. Add this applet to your gnome panel by right-clicking on your panel and then selecting "Add to Panel" and select that applet.
