That will make it use less power and run cooler (like 10-15 degrees cooler). Also use some good thermal paste like the Arctic MX4. But, yeah, if the laptop worked fine for a few months, something has been damaged - most likely, an inductor or capacitor has overheated and lost its effectiveness - if the T6400 still works fine, the X9100 + Throttlestop set at a lower voltage (well below the default, plus maybe even a bit underclocked, to 2.8 GHz for example) should work, as well.

Despite the slightly slower clock speed, the front side bus and RAM are clocked higher. That plus the larger caches and dual cores make everything run faster. Unfortunately it's saddled with an Intel integrated graphics chipset that was old when the laptop was new. Other upgrades, swapped the 80 gig HD for a higher RPM yet more energy efficient 500 gig and swapped out the pair of 512 meg SODIMMs for a pair of 1 gigs and popped a dual layer DVD burner in place of the CD-RW/DVD-ROM. Of course I never paid anywhere near retail for any of the bits, even the laptop itself was a one day Walmart special. With the new CPU, I could easily Hackbook this Acer, which is a very popular model for exactly that after a CPU upgrade.

That is exactly what the Software Preservation Society was founded for actually - do preserve the original bits! Oh, and btw, disk imaging this sort of thing is exactly what the KryoFlux device was built for: http://kryoflux.com If you scroll down to the GUI screenshot on that page, you can see a protection track, which happens to actually be a Copylock track! That is why you can't copy it, it's not just about data, but how that data was written. BTW, USB floppy drives tend to be a bit unreliable. I totally agree with this, it’s a really sad situation.

I can't play my copy of Populous from 5 1/4" floppy as it asks you questions on the populations of major cities that was supplied on a piece of paper that was designed to be un-photocopyable. My solution nowdays is to play games that are free and I can pay for them afterwards if I like them. Dwarf Fortress is my current fave. Free to download, donate via paypal and they'll send you an original artwork. Another example, if one was needed, that DRM mostly harms legitimate paying customers.

The signaling logic to the clocking IC is

I intend to put a cooling system so Im not worried about the heating problem. and I will try the throttlestop program, but right now Im in ditches with this processor. I know that windows took the drivers I can see it through the back door. So something else is preventing the GM45 from operation. I have pursued motherboard jumpers as a fix to the 800Mhz to 1067Mhz FSB change and found no resolve there so I know its BIOS related. I would run Clockgen as an ultimatum, but am not yet convinced of its capabilities. The BIOS Toshiba provided is proprietary at best and doesn't have great functionality as the desktop Pheonix-Award BIOSs' have... So, if anyone knows the answer to this challenge it would be greatly appreciated. Even if it is a new BIOS download I could use? Im pretty positive that the Parity bit selection' has something to do with it? Awaiting comment... Has anyone read the last reply?
