    Mr. Wang,

    Assuming you are talking about the CPU, what CPU are you using? Core2 duo L9300?
    PassMark - Intel Core2 Duo L9300 @ 1.60GHz - Price performance comparison

    Have you changed the CPU speed in BIOS?
    Have you run CPU-Z | Softwares | CPUID?

    Many Notebooks have a speed turbo and idle, saves on the battery endurance, all of mine do except the one running MS-DOS 6.x with Win3.1 [an 80486SX],

    That is normal. Specially on laptops where heat and energy consumption are a problem. If not in use there is no reason to operate at high frequency.
    My desktop MB allow me to configure the maximum and minimum CPU clock. I gave it a little overclock (10%) and it runs from 0.8 to 4.2 GHz

    I have one laptop that has a 2.10GHz Intel cpu. The clock speed is supposed to vary with the load, that's normal. But sometimes it got stuck at a maximum of 0.80GHz and nothing I do could get it to go any higher, except for shutting down and restarting.

    Then I found that running ThrottleStop would get it back to working normally. No need to play with any of its settings, just opening it brought back normal speeds. I could then close ThrottleStop and it continued to work normally.
