(though on my BX notebook i only get 2 speed, 700Mhz and 850Mhz) though most of this functionality does not exist in powertweak yet.. I still need to add getting values at regular intervals, and some generic calculation engine. the first i will do anyway as i want to provide a graph sven On Tue, 2003-10-21 at 03:35, Ducrot Bruno wrote: > On Mon, Oct 20, 2003 at 06:32:05PM +0100, Dave Jones wrote: > > On Mon, Oct 20, 2003 at 07:25:03PM +0200, Ducrot Bruno wrote: > > > > > AFAIR, there is no patent if wide system policy which is what Bob want > > > to implement.

I was probably mistaken. Sorry.
