DragsterNFS Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hello, I have a XP Professional 32-bit installed on a HP 6820s, and keeping in mind that it's a pretty hot-running laptop I'd like to find a utility (preferably freeware) which can, in short, give me few customizable profiles, for very low cpu (and all other components) usage, a medium one, and a maximum one. Something like Vista has, really missing it in XP.Thanks in advance!(p.s. already tried, but not satisfied: SpeedSwitch XP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beats Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Have you tried WinXP's powercfg.exe yet? It's a command line utility that can do a lot, and it's free (ships with the OS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redxii Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 XP should be able to downclock your processor with a proper driver and your video card with a proper driver and adjust automatically based on demand and power source. Power scheme set to "Portable/Laptop". XP was released in 2001/2002, it lacks among other things any power management options and support for PCI Express that are present in Vista. As far XP is concerned your video card is a regular ol' 33MHz PCI card.For the processor you can check Device Manager and view the processor's properties, the driver that shouldn't be in use is "processr.sys".

GrofLuigi Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 RMClock, has many options for power management, does not fully support the very latest processors. CrystalCPUID, very good, does only processor management. <- I use this.Basically, you'd want to UNDERVOLT <- search for this on Google, there are many guides.(pozdrav)GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
