I found a speedup tweak under Power management for my Sony laptop. The laptop was always fairly weak at playing 3D games so I never bothered with them.
Anyhow, I found a couple of settings for CPU control and fan speed which have always been "Adaptive" and "Level 3" respectfully. After I cranked the settings up to "Performance" and "Level 5" I can now play stuff like GTA3: Vice City at fantastic frame rate (30 FPS most of the time)
Before changing the settings such games would drag along at 10FPS or so.
The chip set is only a 128MB shared Intel 915GM too so I am very suprised at the results.
It's always nice to find these little things out which boost the PC's performance.
