Some type of power saving feature. Find power options under control panel and change to high performance. Some motherboards have a n option in the bios also. Could be locked for you though.

You are right... I started a Windows Download and the processor speeds jumped up to 1.5-2.0 ghz

ETA: I switched the power mode to High Performance and now it is no longer lagging; working like a charm.

I always thought the power options were solely for battery usage. Had no clue it was for processor/CPU performance.

ETAA: Holy shite this thing is fast now. I don't even need to install the SSD I ordered for her. I may just wait a couple years until this hydrid HD starts to get bogged down, then install the Samsung Evo 840 I bought
