CPU speed differs between safe-mode and normal mode

Posted: 10-15-2003, 07:11 PM
Hello, folks...

I'm running win XP on an IBM A21 (PIII 700 CPU) laptop and I have two
questions:

1. The CPU shows a speed of 547 mhz when windows is running normally, and
697mhz on safe mode. Why the difference? Is there something wrong with my
setup?

2. How do I stop the cd-rom from autoplaying when I turn on the computer?

Thanks in advance for your help and comments

Regards,

Andy
