This will slow down your cpu. My own toshiba 8000 actually always runs at 170 Mhz instead of the 400, even when it's on the wall outlet when this setting is turned on. So change your bios settings, and you should be seeing the 650 come back (or maybe just plug in the power cable, and it may be back to normal.) Mark > although i know it's a 650MHz processor and is detected as such under 2.2.18pre22? it feels to me to be running at the proper speed, but with linux's awesome multitasking capabilities, maybe i just can't tell ;-) anyway, i haven't compiled the tpctl modules or installed them, so i haven't played with the fact that the kernel is reporting some speedstepped speed, and i'm not running full speed. > > is this a common bug that i should ignore, or am i running under speed? > > nathanp. -- Mark Janssen Unix Consultant @ SyConOS IT E-mail: mark@markjanssen.homeip.net GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 http: markjanssen.homeip.net and markjanssen.[com|net|org|nl] Fax/VoiceMail: +31 20 8757555 Finger for GPG and GeekCode
