I have a Dell Precision M4600 mobile workstation laptop. I feel as though it is a very powerful computer, but it seems to react very slowly sometimes (Just playing a youtube video or opening a document). I'm thinking about going to another OS. The only thing I can think of is if there is anyway to make sure it's fully maxed out. what I mean by that is, I know a lot of processors clock themselves down until they really need it, but is there any way to force it to run at max? The reason why I believe it can be maxed is because it runs totally silent, and very very cool (Fans don't turn on, and very minimal heat).

It's possible the hard drive is rooted. Open up Resource Monitor and look at disk queue lengths. – ta.speot.is – 2012-05-05T09:31:06.203
