I'm the owner of a notebook Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A1667EX with a AMD
Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 processor.
After several tries and a BIOS upgrade, I've installed Windows 7 on
that machine, it works pretty well, but I have a problem with the
processor.

What problems?

The system runs slowlier than with WinXP, mainly when multithreading.

Have you checked the power management settings that the system doesn't
run in power saving mode? Additionally, how much RAM does your system
have? And did you do a fresh install of Win7 or an upgrade from Windowsxp?

Yes, it was in power saving mode. After your first answer I changed it
to "High Performance" and ran again the upgrade advisor and it kept
saying 'CPU speed 800 MHz'.

Your processor runs at 2GHz, however it can clock down to 800MHz to save
energy. If it does depends on the power management settings within Windows.

Take a look at that (http://yfrog.com/escpujj), please.

The upgrade advisor is not always right, so you should just forget about
it. You have a 2GHz CPU which is more than fine for Win7.

I've run Everest Lavalys and it says that CPU speed is 2 GHz.

BTW: even when the upgrade advisor says otherwise Win7 runs fine on a
computer with less than 1GHz.

OK! So... here come some extra questions:

- Is my system working ALWAYS at 800 MHz? Or CPU speed varies
depending on the requirements?

This depends on the power management settings.

- If it's working always at 800 MHz, how can I set the power
management options to have it working at full capacity?

Go into Control Panel - Power Options and set it to "High Performance"
(or the equivalent in your language setting).

I've done it, now I have to try wether it has some influence in system
speed or not.

Thanks for your help... :-)

Saludos.
