See Intel Document > 245306, revision 43, page 14. HP Omnibook model number f1662wt. I guarantee this thing peaks out at 450MHz (448.055, actually). GenuineIntel processor 0 family 6 model 8 stepping 1. Pentium III (Coppermine) with 256kb of cache. While I'm not calling you a liar, I am saying that I'm not imagining it. This could be an HP 'special' where they took a 500 and ran it at 450. Or any other such thing. If it's not using SpeedStep, I'm not sure what it is using. My current method of speed changing is to reboot the laptop with the AC plugged in for "high" mode, and unplugged for "low" mode. Once booted, it doesn't seem to change modes. > There is no one which is _supposed_ to change. It's just that GPO #0 is the > most _common_ to change.

I'll retry it a little later tonight, but as I recall, neither speedstep-smi nor speedstep-ich (which i tried just to see if it was me being stupid) worked, and complained about some very odd things. > Even though I now own a wonderful centrino notebook, me and many others > still work on the various "earlier" speedstep drivers.
