Good to hear you're satisfied with your X61s. I just recently bought one as well, and I can say that it's performing admirably. Before I got my Thinkpad though, I was using an Asus EEEPC 1000H for my ultraportable needs. And of course, I had to be able to play 720p files on it :D So I've known about...

the problem is that cpu-z isnt able to show the actual clock speed, when using the intel core 2 in the x61s. instead you have to use the intel thermal analysis tool. http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/392/mirrors.php I read that before, but it was old news. I'm pretty sure it's been resolved. Any...

Thanks Paul! I also recently discovered this. Still, I was confused that it wouldn't throttle all the way down to 800MHz, so I downloaded RMClock, hoping that it could help. Turns out the L7500 just doesn't throttle down that far, as all the P states I found, the lowest multiplier was 6x. So I guess...

Thanks for the advice Marin. Indeed, creating a new power profile did help the problem, and now my cpu is throttling, but I don't think it's going all the way down to it's lowest power state. In fact, when I'm looking at CPU-Z at idle, it's mostly still at 1.6GHz, and sometimes throttles down to 1.2...

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I've done some searching, but I can't seem to find a solution to my problem. I've done a clean install of Vista Ultimate 64-bits on a new X61s, and I've downloaded most of the drivers from Lenovo support, but I can't seem to get speedstep working (always stuck ...
