Right. However, they did build into the first model the ability to use it. They just didn't give any access to that feature when they shipped it. The similar 701SD model (same 900 MHz CPU) lists S.H.E. support here: http://eeepc.asus.com/global/product701sd.html The model 701 des not: http://eeepc.asus.com/global/product700.html > It's a 900 MHz Celeron _permanently_ underclocked to 630 MHz.

The eeepc_laptop module which is a standard part of the kernel now supports access to S.H.E. via /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv for all models, whether or not Asus lists support. > nevertheless, but this was IIRC quite unreliable so I stopped using it > after some tests.

Given that Asus lists no support for this, perhaps we should patch eeepc-acpi-scripts to detect model 701 and disable the setting by default, only enabling it for all other models. I have a model 4G and have been using S.H.E. performance mode while on AC for some time. I occasionally suffer lockups, but that could just as well be due to the still immature support for KMS as anything else. I'll try for a week to do without S.H.E. and see if the lockups cease.
