If you want to use the kernel policies, look at the files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq. You can see which governors are available: $ cat scaling_available_governors ondemand userspace performance Also which governor is currently active: $ cat scaling_governor performance And of co

I don't think that is the case--at least, not in stock Debian kernels. I have an Athlon XP 1700+, and it idled at 45C until I installed athcool. Now it idles below 40C, sometimes as low as 30-32C in cooler weather. I have to agree, my Athlon 64 3200+ runs at least 5-10c cooler in Windows (with C

Try the powernowd - it works very well. It has an aggressive feature which will skyrocket processor herz's, thus limitign the performance losses. It should be in debian sid (or experimental). Alle Monday 2 May 2005 03:36, Carlos Rodrigues ha scritto: > Paul Johnson wrote: > > I'm going to ass
