    Underclocking AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

    What can I do to lower the power usage of this CPU when I'm not running my power hungry multithreaded apps? I have the 125 watt version and would love to get to use much less than that. Well, obviously it runs less than that at light load, but I mean comparable to a 65 watt or so. Thx

    The Athlon64 can execute a 64bit and 32bit instruction simultaniously. But with windows xp 64, rather than executing the 32bit instructions on the Ahtlon64, wow64 converts the 32bit instruction to a 64bit instruction and executes it on the Athlon64 as a 64bit instruction. This seems to me as a...
