10.4.1 speedstep disabling on latitude x300

[boosting1bar]

Hey gang, I've had 10.4.1 running on my Latitude x300 for about 6 months now alongside XP. The majority of the programs I *have* to use are windows only, but I use OSX otherwise. I just realized today (long time, I know) that it's still reporting my CPU as only running at 600mhz instead of 1.2ghz. I've searched the forum and found that there is an option in some Dell BIOSs that allow you to disable this, and I've set that option to disable but I'm still running at only 600mhz.

 

I also noticed that it's possible to get CI and QE running on this machine apparently, but the instructions were a little unclear. If anyone would like to help with that I'd appreciate it as well.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer an oldtimer that fell out of the loop!
