After all, there were no PIIX4 with special requirement for speedstep capable processor. Look at my lastest answer to the OP. > What I suspect is that Medion used the cheaper(?)

I think that you should use the ICH5 only with the centrino, not the P4, if you are designing a laptop. But still, I may be wrong. > What I wanted to know from Andrew is if this is possible at all, without > asking him to disclose something that he is not allowed to tell, of course. Yes, perhaps, but if Andrew do not answer, don't take offense, that's the game, after all. -- Bruno Ducrot -- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? -- Don't know. Don't care.
