George,
I have a problem with AVG9 resident shield that it's constantly using at
least 50% of my cpu and sometimes gobbles near 100% for several minutes.
The machine is pretty unusable.
AVG's response (based on msinfo32 output) is that my cpu is too slow at
599Mhz.
Yes, speedstep should kick in, but it doesn't seem to...

They're referring to the maximum CPU speed , not what it's running at

T42, you'll be fine.
If you pushed the machine hard enough - like opening 20 Firefox
browser windows at the same time - I'm sure it would go above 599 Mhz.
Not to mention that your 1.7 Ghz Pentium M roughly equals 3.0 Ghz
Pentium 4...and I'm running AVG 9.0 on a A31p with 2.0 Ghz P4M CPU...
For the record, I've ran AVG 9.0 on Panasonic CF-R4 which had Pentium
M ULV 1.2 Ghz CPU, and it ran very well.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

Subject: [Thinkpad] T42 Stuck at slow CPU speed
Hi,
I have a Thinkpad T42, 1.7Ghz which according to My Computer->Properties and msinfo32 is only running at a CPU speed of 599Mhz.
Setting cpu speed to 'max performance' (battery and mains power) in the Thinkpad Power manager has no effect.
Setting cpu to 'max performance' (battery and mains power) in the BIOS seemed to work for a while, but now I'm seeing 599Mhz again.
I need to resolve this problem to get AVG antivirus to look at a CPU usage problem I have - they say at least 1.5Ghz is required for AVG 9.
