I don't know if this is correct or if I should enable ACPI to have more fid's, but my question is not about this. What I want to know is if I can choose "ondemand" governor instead of the recommended for AMD64, namely the "conservative" governor, since I will be switching between those two frequencies. I haven't found any information about my CPU regarding latency when switching between frequencies, so I don't know if I will be gaining anything using the "conservative" governor. Which governor is better suited for a CPU with only two fid's, "ondemand" or "conservative"? Thanks a lot in advance :) Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to... RAmen!
