My problem is with processor speed. Using windows XP Home. Laptop has AMD Turion64 ML32 processor and speed should be 1800MHz but in control panel - system it has only 800MHz. I quess it raises up when needed but I want to update this to Windows 8 and Windows8-UpgradeAssistant.exe doesn't go any further because says: 'Speed is less than 1GHz and you can't install and use Windows 8'.

This laptop has 2 x 1024Mb DDR RAM and that should be enough. It has a new hard disk drive too, WDC WD3200, 320Gb, 284Gb free space at the moment. Speccy and all other monitoring apps gives this: Rated Bus Speed 801.0 MHz Stock Core Speed 1800 MHz How to raise speed up for good or cheat Windows8-UpgradeAssistant??? Where can this laptop has new and better drivers for example for Wi-Fi. In Fujitsu sites is nothing and windows update has never gave any updates to hardware.
Please help and Thank You in advance. HI KLF Thank you for trying to help me. In XP that kind of power feature don't exist. In BIOS is no power saving options at all, this machine has newest BIOS anyway but there is no help for this matter. I tried to look for 'ThrottleStop' and what I learned it's for dual cores and so. Mine has single core, Amilo A 1650G is released in 2005, old but very good for lighter use. I know that WIN 8 would be for this much better os.
But this processor speed thing is strange. This is typical thing in this laptop what I have seen in internet. Drivers are not big thing. I guess that with W8 this would be better in soooo many ways.
I also tried and installed Win8 pro on my old Amilo 1667G with turion MT-37/X700/1gb ram. It went well, I mean installing, but checked the speed of processor and it was only 800Mhz ( used few programs), all of them indicated me that speed. The task manager shown the way it should be, from 800Mhz to 2000Mhz speed, up and down, the way it should work, but I rather incline to believe the CPUZ, AIDA64 and HWinfo32, actual speed of 800Mhz. I think you have the same motherboard as I have P50CA, I am not sure. What i did, (with windows 7 installed), I updated to the latest Bios for this motherboard, 1.07, is not official, is released by ECS, and followed what the guys did here: Even with 800Mhz Windows 8 worked very well. I can not give up this laptop because of the volume button, it has a normal one, not press FN +.to increase/decrease the volume.
BUT I went back to XP PRO, all other laptops I have are Win 7 and Win 8, is enough. Conclusion, the Bios has to be updated by the manufacturer to support newer OS, but are 7 years old laptops and they say to get a new one, no more support for old once anymore.
