Please provide the processor (manufacturer, model), laptop
(manufacturer, model), OS version (Win2k, XP, patch level). Short
answer so far: maybe.

It sounds like you have a SpeedStep processor in your system. If so (and
given the numbers you report), it would normally run at 500MHz when in a
battery-saving mode, and 650MHz when not.
However it is strange that the BIOS does not say that you have SpeedStep if
your system was designed to support it. If a SpeedStep processor is
installed in an older system, it will only run at the lower speed.

Is it ok for a laptop to show two processor speeds, one in windows xp system
settings (498 MHz) and the other one in bios (650 MHz)? Which one is the
real speed?

run programs that require min. 600 MHz, right?
