Disabling AMD PowerNow or AMDK7.SYS ?

[Bram]

I'm using my laptop (Athlon XP-M 3000+) as a desktop replacement
and I want to disable PowerNow completely in WinXP so it will always
run in full throttle. I have my power scheme set to "Alway On" but
still the CPU doesn't seem to run > 800MHz. The max speed should be
1.6GHz..

It seems the driver "amdk7.sys" manages the PowerNow functionality.
Is there any way to disable this unwanted feature?

Thanks!

Try asking the folks that designed it.

instead of "Always On", set the profile to "Home/Office Desktop".

Check in your BIOS settings. You didn't specify what laptop, etc. but
generally that kind of throttling is handled at the BIOS level rather than
the OS.
