One new feature the KT133A chipset supports is the PowerNow! power savings standard.. Does anybody know what this does, and whether we can take advantage of it?
(edit: ) Here is AMD's PowerNow page I've also found somewhere that Tbirds "should" have PowerNow support:
"TS-ALR4 supports AMD Socket A 200/266MHz FSB Athlon and Duron CPUs currently available at up to 1.2GHz. With 200MHz DDR the data transfer rate between the CPU to chipset, and chipset to memory, is as high as 1.6GB per second; while with the 266MHz DDR, data transfer can achieve 2.1GB per second. The AMD CPUs also come with the AMD PowerNow! power saving technology."
