How much memory?

Anyway, this is actually normal. It is done to preserve battery life.
Turn off Speedstep in the BIOS and adjust your power settings to Full,
or something like it, when on battery and the problem will go away.

And you'll get about 1/2 the battery life.



This question is eerily similar to the poster below who had added a 2gb
SODIMM to a V1000 (when specs only allow for 1gb/2gb max capacity).

It just appears the poster has had a name change.

right. and he/she dismissed my previous suggestion. but let him/her waste
time with all the other suggestions. speedstep or any other power saving
measure should not result in a delay of a typed letter from appearing on
the screen. the cause of this behavior is because of what i previously
mentioned.



I dropped the thread when the poster dismissed exceeding the recommended RAM
specifications.

Further, running a budget system on (what I consider to be) off-brand RAM in
the wrong size......

It's obvious to me that the poster has it all figured out and doesn't need
any assistance from me.
