Technology present. Can scale: frequency and voltage. powernow: Found PSB header at c00f06f0 powernow: Table version: 0x12 powernow: Flags: 0x0 (Mobile voltage regulator) powernow: Settling Time: 100 microseconds. powernow: Has 8 PST tables. (Only dumping ones relevant to this CPU). powernow: No PST tables match this cpuid (0x7a0) powernow: This is indicative of a broken BIOS. powernow: See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/cpufreq/powernow-k7.shtml I've read many interesting threads here and I saw the patch which use acpi which would solve my problem I think. If you need volunteer to test it on an acer laptop I think I can. I tried to flash the bios with the one on acer website but it seems that it is older than the one I already have, and it doesn't solve the problem anyway. I managed to run at 2200 Mhz max and 800Mhz min under windows here are some reports cpuinfo : processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 10 model name : Mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+ stepping : 0 cpu MHz : 796.380 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mp mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 1564.67 dmidecode : # dmidecode 2.4 SMBIOS 2.3 present. 24 structures occupying 766 bytes.
