I haven't had any success yet but I know in Windows the System control panel reported the 2.66GHz CPU running at 2.83GHz without me doing anything, so I guess FreeBSD should be doing the same. -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
