OK, Elmer, re:<Each processor can and does run at the rated speed at least some of the time and it could run at that speed all of the time if the owner so chose> Here's the DELL Latitude C800 Users Guide in HTML: docs.us.dell.com Show me where it tells me how to make it run at full speed on batteries. I'll give you a clue - it's not there. Furthermore, this manual clearly states that the microprocessor speed may be reduced at any time if thermally necessary. See docs.us.dell.com : HyperCool™ automatic thermal management system that uses variable-speed fans, microprocessor speed changes, and Intel® Remote Heat Exchanger technology to keep the computer running at the optimum temperature. So the DELL Latitude C800 NEVER runs at it's rated speed on batteries. Petz
