I was using the acpi since now. I'll now give speedstep-centrino a try and see, if the finer granulated frequencies affect my system. > It currently lists the B0 steppings only, a line or 2 may need to be added > for A1 steppings although in my googling I haven't seen any /proc/cpuinfo > output for these, all i've seen are B0 steppings for which i've seen > examples of 1.5GHz through 1.8GHz. I am another example of B0 (using intel 735 1.7GHz/2MB) I don't really know what to do. Do I have any advantages using speedstep-centrino instead of acpi? Olli
