Default AMD Turion 64 and Windows 7

Τη Κυριακή, 13 Ιουνίου 2010 3:34:33 μ.μ. UTC+3, ο χρήστης Xavi *γραψε:
Hi!

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.
According to Windows Upgrade Advisor my processor works at 800 MHz, so
it won't work properly under Windows 7, which requires a minimun 1
GHz.
This processor works at 2 GHz but it does so thanks to a driver. This
driver for Windows XP was furnished with the netbook, but I haven't
been able to find it for Windows 7.
Does anyone knows if this driver exists? If so, where can I find it?
Is there any other possibility to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance for your help... :-)

Saludos.

Xavi


OK, I know the thread is three years old, however I just had to answer in case someone else is looking for a fix for this issue:

There seems to be a bug with power saving in the Turion processors, which could be fixed via a BIOS update (in my case there was never any newer BIOS to provide this update). I had found a thread a few years back (which, unfortunately I can't remember). It suggested overwriting a windows 7 file with an XP one and installing Rightmark CPU clock. It worked for me.
