how to make the processor work at a specific frequency?

My 2 computers..i attached pictures..
The one with the 8 cores is the alienware..throttle down works
The other one IS NOT an alienware..its my acer..so i cant put any alienware programs on it..so alienware drivers is not an option...i need something else..
and the setting about the processor in the power options in the acer pc are different from the other and do not have the option of min & max pprocessor state..
And as you can see from up right of the screenshot the 4 core pc does not throttle down..

Any suggestions of a program that i can manually throttle it down?

How about Notebook Hardware Control (NHC).
Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) - Homepage, Downloads, Help, Docu, FAQ, News - www.NotebookHardwareControl.net

It allows you to specify processor speed s well as set it up to throttle back in response to demand automatically.
I've been using it on my Acer for a couple of years now.

Please follow kemical's suggestions, except just replace the reference to alienware with acer. If it worked with Windows 7 starter, then it should also work with your current version of Windows 7. When you upgraded / reinstalled to your new version of Windows 7 you are likely missing some drivers and or proprietary vendor applications that support this function. Check for updates for drivers (chipset, audio, video, etc.) as well as a possible BIOS update and then any apps that they have that might be titled something like OS enhancements for Windows 7.

i installed anything i found on acer website..but they dont have any drivers for 64bit computers in their website..The only thing i didnt do is the BIOS update..i think i will give that a shot..you think that is the reason? By the way the notebook is Acer D255 with an atom processor N550 dual core @ 1.5ghz .. is there somewhere else to look for 64bit drivers?

Nope, I really don't. The reason being that the feature seemed to work with the factory installation of Windows 7 Starter. The fact that there are not drivers for the 64bit version of Windows 7 that you evidently presently have installed is probably more likely the cause. The only other possible resource for 64bit driver versions might be from the hardware device manufacturer's website. So if you can determine the actual Motherboard manufacturer, Model Name, Model Number, Rev. number, you might try there.
Did you try the app that Frank linked to above.

yeah i have tried it..not working on 64bit..

I realized that after posting the link.
The author is working on a 64 bit version to be released very soon?

The 3.4.3 version shown is a brand new update, the latest update in over 2 years.

Hopefully the 64 bit version will be available sooner rather than later.
