SpeedStep is only supported by the "mobile" Intel-CPUs. Are you sure
there is a "Pentium IV-m" (the "m" is the important thing) in your
Laptop? ASUS also sells Notebooks with the "desktop" version of the PIV,
which does _not_ support SpeedStep.
You should also take a look in your notebook's BIOS and see if there is
the possibility to change the processor's performance.

So this must be a PIV-m.
