[Bug 422858] Re: Atom N280 frequency scaling not supported

[summerfk]

I have an Acer AOD 205 BB18 (N280, 1280x720 screen, Win 7 preinstalled).
I get the same problem under Windows 7 - maximum speed is 1.33GHz
Bios is 1.15. Manufactured 0909.

Strangely, I know someone with an AOD 205 BW83 (N280, 1024x600 screen, XP preinstalled). 
Their machine doesn't have the issue under XP.
Not sure what the bios is, but it's an older machine than the BB18.

I've not tried installing ubuntu on either machine.
I'm simply adding these details to this thread so that people know the new Acer models also have this issue with Windows, it's not only a ubuntu issue. I wonder why XP is different? 

A new firmware was released yesterday. I read in another thread that the
issue is not fixed. Anyone tried it?

Two other relevant threads:
