I enabled Speedstep in my motherboard bios and was happy to see it supported in Ubuntu. However, when I enable Speedstep, I lose my cpu overclock. I have an E4300 running at 2.4Ghz. It runs @ 2.4 with Speedstep disabled, but when I enable it my cpu runs @ 1.2 Ghz throttled, and 1.8 Ghz (my...
Is there a way to get Speedstep working in Win2k with my E4300? I have it working in Linux on the same system (albiet with some issues I will post about in the Linux forum), but it doesn't work in Win2k. I read something I found through google about going to Control Panel -> Power Options ->...
I've got an HP Pavilion in my garage that I use to play mp3s. It's currently running Win2k (very slowly) and I'm looking for a good Linux distro to replace Win2k on it. All it will be doing is playing mp3s. I might occasionally use it for research/reference on the web, but that will be rare...
I'm trying to get Conky to do a cpu temp readout via ACPI on my 4coreDual-VSTA and I'm getting a reading of 0 C. I've been told that this doesn't work with some motherboards...perhaps my Asrock is one of those? Anyone have any luck getting this working on a 4coreDual-VSTA?
Thanks.
I've never seen this before, but hoping for some help here. In my Add or Remove Programs on WinXP, seven programs are listed, followed by a LONG gap (you have to scroll down many lines to see the next programs) then the rest of the programs. It's almost as if there are a hundred invisible...
I've never tried any version of Linux before this weekend. Decided to put ubuntu 7.04 on an old rig and see what it's all about. Tried going to ubuntu's forums and under the newbie section, was still saying "huh?" at some of the tips. This is because they use terminology that a newbie wouldn't...

I'm trying to isolate my cpu's L2 cache in stress testing. I'm using an E4300 (2MB L2). In Orthos/P95, would I just set Min FFT to 128, Max FFT to 2048, and minimize the amount of system memory to use? Or is there something I'm missing?
Thx.
Has everyone upgraded to monitors that can handle 1600x1200 and higher? My monitor is still limited to 1280x1024 *useful* resolution. It handles 1600x1200 but the clarity is gone. Why not test video cards at lower resolutions but with the AA and AF jacked up? Like, 8X AA and 16X AF. It...
I'm a Win2k holdover and I'm considering an upgrade to a c2d processor (E4300). Will there be any problems with Win2k SP4 recognizing or making full use of the E4300? Will I need to reinstall Win2k?
I'm currently on a KT600 mobo with an AthlonXP Mobile processor at 2.2Ghz. The mobo I'm...
