Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology enables real-time dynamic switching of the voltage and frequency between two performance modes based on processor demand. This occurs by switching the system bus ratios, core operating voltage, and core processor speeds without resetting the system. The Mobile Pentium® III Processor – M is available at the following frequencies and voltages (Maximum Performance mode/Battery Optimized mode): 1133/733 MHz, 1066/733 MHz, 1000/733 MHz, 933/733 MHz and 866/667 MHz at 1.40V/1.15V.

This is my first experience ona pentium m cpu so please go easdy here. I happened to notice that upon booting the cpu is running at 16x100 =1600mhz. Then after a minute or so it goes down to 6x100=600mhz. Is this some fancy power saving mechanism to unload thespeed when not needed ?
It is also controllable (disable) with Windows Power Management. Only if it becomes a problem if you game as the notebook will run a lot hotter and use the battery faster always leaving it at 1600 mhz.
