[Mike mentioned that Intel will not disclose information about how to control the "SpeedStep" function to anyone but Microsoft.] Right, Intel claims this is a "unique" and "innovative" technology, and thus releasing the information would harm their intellectual property rights. Funny. I remember there being a speed control function on my old Tandy 1000 SL. I could select either a 4 MHz or an 8 MHz processor clock. Of course, that was because some programs could not handle a processor twice as fast as the original IBM-PC, not to conserve power. Still, I really don't see how Intel can claim to have invented the "TURBO" button. Try pressing [CTRL]+[ALT]+[+] or [CTRL]+[ALT]+[-] (use the number pad keys, not the QWERTY section). Those were the keystrokes used to control the speed on my Tandy. Maybe Intel "innovated" those, too. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
