mine is running sweet as @600/750mghz with a speedstep cpu,however to attain the faster speed one must hard wire the cpu to attain the speed as supposed to bebecause the tp 390 doesn't support speedstep function.conversely i barely notice any diff between both speeds as far as battey usage is concerned which makes me ponder as to why intel stuffed up a peferct design by adding this speedstep garbage in the first place.
conversely an 850mmc2 will yield 700mghz on the tp 390x ,about the max speed possible with no hardwire to cpu mod.
