Computer Speed Loss

[Schnabel]

Hey all I have another problem with a computer and I was hoping you guys could help me. I have a Toshiba Laptop with an Intel T2060 processor which is a dual core processor supposed to run at 1.6ghz on both sides. I have tried to look online for this solution, but I am unable to find one. The problem is that it is not running up to speed on one side and hasn't been for a while. It is running at 1.6 and 1.2 when ever I check it. When I first got the laptop, it was running at 1.6 and 1.6 like it should, so that is what is confusing me. This started within one week of owning the laptop and when I first noticed it, I called Toshiba and they said that it was a normal power saving feature of the processor and that when you need more power, it will turn it back on. Only, it never has. I have reloaded the OS about three times (it is Vista and it needs a fresh reinstall every now and then ) and each time it still shows that it is running at 1.6 and 1.2. This is making me mad since I paid for a full 1.6 on both sides. Please, can anyone help me?
Just a little more info:
The power plan has varied to help change this, and still nothing happened.
Last time I loaded the OS, from the moment that the desktop showed to the moment I shut down, the processor was pegged out (due to sidebar) and still it did not turn on full blast.

Thanks in advance!
