Core2Deano

I recently bought my Asus Eee Pc 900HA. Not used to laptops, i thought mine was faulty. I could get a stable 15 - 20 fps in World of Warcraft and perfectly playable 40+ fps in GTA III. Other games are no problem such as XIII, Diablo II, Sims etc (i have alot on it's 160gb HDD).

The next day i was playing and the computer was generally slower and games ran a good 10 - 15 fps slower. Turned out the pc was using 'battery mode' which underclocked the cpu dramatically and probably other things in an attempt to save battery consumption without me really knowing.

Finding this out i just went into control panel > power management and changed it from 'maximum battery' to 'minimal power management'. Now i can use my eee pc to its full potential, portable as it should be. As for battery life now, it may lose roughly 15 minutes at worst which i dont mind at all.
