Inspiron 6000 CPU runs at less than 50% in 2 years time

Question

Hi,   I have purchased a Dell Inspiron 6000 in the UK in end of December 2005. The configuration was very good with 1.86GHz CPU and 1 GB RAM. After 2 years when I download the Intel CPU utility. I could see the CPU is running at 0.79GHz. Very Pathetic. I know there is 3 years warranty for CPU provided by Intel. Now I need to understand the process to get this replaced.   Dell requires a Service Tag but since I got the Laptop on Europe collect and return for an year and currently I am in India, I could not check with Dell as well.   Whats the net course of action.   Cheers   Chimbu

Your warranty is with Dell; none of the components carry anything other than the system warranty, unless you purchased them aftermarket. If you did, contact the vendor for assistance.

hmm, the cpu speed will increase to max when the system requires it. it's called speedstep...
