So i've got a samsung R20 laptop that came with Vista. it's a merom core2duo 1.73, 2gb ram etc.

Vista was useless so i've upgraded to Windows XP. The trouble is, I now have no power saver mode, etc. It's stuck at full blast which means I have a jet engine sounding, roasting hot laptop and all i'm doing is browsing t't interweb.:mad:

Dunno if its this version of XP that omits those features or whether all XP's dont have it..

I've seen these modes on XP laptops before, and they did ship this exact model with XP..

This is my first laptop, so i'm not quite the expert I am with desktops with it.. the software peculiarities etc

Does anyone know of any way to get the power profiles back? 3rd party prog perhaps? or am i stuck, have to put up with it or go back to that waste of resources and time known as windows s**tsta?

Hurm.. this is weird.. throttled it using rmclock to 800mhz, 1.1625v (1.063 in cpuz) and it's still 66*c at 3% load
 
Yeah i think i'm going to strip down a vista, use this lappy's genuine licence number, and put vista back on it.. its running WAY too hot.. hate to think what it'd be like at full speed.. crash, probably.

800mhz, fan on full, undervolted, no load.. 67*c.. Used to be silent in vista, a lot cooler too.. really, really weird.

This is hotter than any pc i've ever owned before (all of which I built) by a good 15-20c.. and i had the hottest of the mhz wars cpu's.. slot a athlon, XP2100 palomino, prescott P4...

This is supposed to be a mobile core2..:mad:
