I have a question regarding the Clawhammer 3700+, I have recently been handed a "ABS 258ka5" laptop fitted with a clawhammer 3700+ processor, I understand that it is supposed to run at 800Mhz and step up to 2400Mhz on-demand, but the processor is recognised as 800Mhz according to my Win XP SP3 X86,
Is there any way of proving that the processor can and will step up to 2400Mhz? How can I do this? Is there a Bios update for this motherboard (as I can't find one) - I have a feeling that this may help as there are no settings in my current Bios to alter the way the processor is recognised.
This information I have been able to gather regarding the bios...
An AMIBIOS ID String Was Detected:
63-0100-000001-00101111-071504-SiS755

AMIBIOS ROM Size: 512 KB
BIOS Build Date: Jul 15 2004
Motherboard Manufacturer Code: 0001Not listed in MAN.DAT file
AMIBIOS Build Tag: 258KA000
AMIBIOS Project ID: 258KA000 Not listed in TAG.DAT file
I do not believe that I have any SMBus drivers installed, but the laptop is not complaining about lacking them, although it has done once before and I was not able to find them.
Any help with these problems would be greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks,
Nick.
