well, i really need help. i've bought a laptop with a core i3 370m but it looks really slow. windows takes a lot of times to start and other programs too and all runs slow. the maximu use of CPU goes to only 20%. why? my laptop before this one was a core duo with windows vista and it was much more faster. can someone aid me? thanks

Enable the Enhance Intel SpeedStep® Technology on the BIOS of your laptop, this will force the processor to run always at maximum speed.

If you do not know how to access the BIOS of your laptop, please contact the laptop manufacturer.

Also install all available updates for your operating system and any running application, and finally install the latest BIOS version for your laptop.
