It's just the speed step. The CPU will throttle between 600 and 1700Mhz.

If you wan to run at run speed, set you power options in Controll pannel to
"Always On" or "Home/Office Desk"

Always On = Always at full power even on battery
Home/Office = Full power when plugged in, Throttle when on battery

Your notebook may also have it's own applet to do this.

The alternative is to run an application that will use up those CPU cycles instead of having it idle... You paid presumably for those 1.7Ghz, why not use it?!

Id say for power usage and heat output.

Did you plug in the AC power after you booted windows?

Try rebooting and then checking again..

its all good now... what happened was that in BIOS i had this feature called long battery mode and it was enabled. Thats what been causing the thing to run at 600mhz...

Thanks every one for helping me out
