Make sure the power saving features are turned off when its on AC power...its still clocking down the CPU as though it was on battery power. You'll find the options in Control Panel->Power Management or something labelled similarly. That might explain the high ETA.

Generally it will speed up when CPU percentage use reaches a certain point. At 100% CPU speedstep should not function.
Are you using some sort of battery saving tool or somehting along those lines?
EDIT: Too slow again.

Ok i just checked the power settings and It had maximum battery on for some reason! 
Never seen it like that with the AC power. Anyway I changed the setting from that to minimal power management. Unfortunately there's no way to turn it off as far as i can see... There's also a maxiumum performance option.
It's still around 900Mhz... Should I restart?

I was just showing that there is a worse computer then a laptop running folding
That Pentium M isnt far off an Athlon 64, clock-for-clock in folding. It'd be faster than an Athlon XP and some Pentium 4s (depending on the exact work unit).
It pobably wouldn't hurt.Beenom said:
The Pentium M is an excellent CPU for FAH. A 2.0 GHz Pentium M at stock everything holds the world record for PPD. The owner of that machine is my next door neighbor.

Use the maximum performance option.

this cost me only $1200AUD
Mum wouldnt let me build one
And our parts are more expensive down here then over there i find.
It bet all the competitions prices anyway and we just really needed a computer.
The 6 months or so with out one was hell

Hmmm n00b question but can you run this folding lark on a server?? ie will it run on win server 2k3??. If so i might as well help out as my server is on 24/7...nothing too great though...but as i said every little helps...
Run the 2000/XP client. That client will also work on WIn 9x machines just so long as you don't tell it to install as a service or ask for big work units.
5.02/5.04 runs just fine on Vista as well.

Great to see lots of people joining still.
Lots of you don't seem to be aware of fahmon. It will tell you what units your cruching, how many points there worth etc and its easier than looking in the text file. A handy little program if your interested in the points side of things.
