Hi J, 

Yes, this does work in Windows but if I remember correctly you have to use the 
Toshiba Power Utilities to Increase it from 600Mhz up to 1.60Ghz

I have checked the BIOS and have found nothing that allows me to change CPU 
power states or anything with the CPU / SpeedStep etc. 

But the strange thing is when I took out my Linux HDD and slapped in a windows 
HDD, it came up by default at 600 (598)Mhz and had to change the power 
settings to support 1.60Ghz. 

Let me check BIOS again, and double check that there is nothing in there for 
power / cpu settings. ( again, I am running the most up to date BIOS for my 
machine).
