Hi Lars, right. when doing nothing, or hardly anything, it sits around 70 or so. down to 40/50 if I'm on the train... so it does seem to work, just not when fully powered. What I haven't configured at all is powerd (so it's using the defaults)...I've been wondering how all the components that I listed before interact with each other...for example, i don't want my CPU to be eating cycles (and power) @ 2 GHz when I'm doing nothing. I'll try your suggestions (kill cpufreq,tweak powerd to see how it goes ). BTW, how does one use/enable/configure speedstep features? my CPU is CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz (1995.01-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x6d8 Stepping = 8 Features=0xafe9fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,TM,PBE> Features2=0x180<EST,TM2> thx :) B _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "Liberty is not a means to a higher political end.
