On battery power the system works fine and as it should but on damn AC, can only get around mhz out of the 2ghz at best. Dissapointing from an otherwise enjoyable OS experience.

I wouldn't consider 3dmark06 performance issues And why you wouldn't have?

Check the drivers section of your computer vendors website for "Power Management Driver" or "Power Manager".
