Re: Asus K8N, Cool'n'Quiet, and sensors.conf

[Stephen Hassard <steve@hassard.net>]

I've noticed my AMD64 boxes be particularly sensitive to the ondemand 
cpufreq daemon, causing locks and other fun. As soon as I fell back to 
the good old userspace daemons, all my problems went away. I'm not sure 
if AMD64 likes the freq to be adjusted as fast as ondemand does.

later,
Steve
