Its your pentium M processor. They have something called Speed Step which makes them swich speed depending on how heavy your CPU useage is at the moment. It helps save battery and keep temperatures down.

Theres been a million threads on this.

it is normal since u have Enhanced Speed Step technology - meaning pretty much that the CPU is being throttled up/down to manage battery power
if u want it to run at full clock, check ur power properties and set it accordingly

there is a little free tool (RMClock) that might fit ur need of accessing full power when needed.

Just let it do it itself. Nothing you described requires full power.

I dont overclock my CPU. You cant overclock a PM without a bios that supports it. And currently only the sager 5720 bios supports it.

I overclock my video card, thats it.

Also, what you described does not need full power to your CPU. Why would you want to risk breaking it by getting power out of it that you'd never use?
