Hm that's funny, I thought that *er-clocking was a hardware thing. Normally, processor speed is statically set by the BIOS on system startup, and cannot be changed while running. This is why overclockers have to set a jumper and change their multiplier on startup.
However, modern processors have the AMD something speed and the Intel speedstep thing that allows an OS to send a BIOS call via ACPI that changes the processor speed live. The ranges of speeds usable are predefined by the processor, and this is what is used by acpid or other daemon that changes processor speeds. Did that make sense? _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
