If you want to disable the Intel Speedstep, go into your Vista Power options and set it to High Performance.
By default, your computer is set to Balanced which uses Speedstep. If you switch it to High Performance then your CPU should stay at the advertised speed. It actually does increase performance as it doesn't have to keep switching speeds. The difference for me when I switched it from Balanced was large so I recommend doing it.
I did went to my power settings and checked the "high performance" button and I rechecked cpuz. At first the core speed read 2666mhz but then it jumped back down to 1600mhz. Sometimes it'll jump to 2666 but its consistent at 1600.
Any ideas about why its doing this???
