Well, you should be safe to change it to another setting that doesn't cause the problem. Intel SpeedStep, A.K.A Frequency Scaling should work regardless -- presuming you have that driver (it's under Power Management -> CPU Frequency Scaling IIRC). Apart from that I can't really suggest much. Tom -- Tom Martin, http://dev.gentoo.org/~slarti AMD64, net-mail, shell-tools, recruiters, vim Gentoo Linux
