Has anyone else had the issue of their cpu not running at full speed? I've checked in power settings and it should be set to 100%, but it still runs at maybe 80-96%. Occasionally it will actually get stuck at less than half speed, which can only be solved
by a reboot. No heat issues that would cause it to throttle. It's a Core 2 Duo 2.8 ghz, t9600.

That processor has Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology :)
Might search that or maybe just read at Wikipedia.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedStep
Unless its under maximum load it wont show as full speed.
My laptop i3 processor is 2.3Ghz but if I look while at idle in TaskManger it will show 0.80Ghz. Ramps up to higher speeds depending on the workload demand. Not unusual to see it anywhere between that .8Ghz and 2.3Ghz.
Put the power plan on Performance and it will maybe show 1.8 at idle up to 2.3 under loads.
