So I ran Reggie SE from CHUD and looked at the registers for the CPUs. I don't understand what most of these do but one thing I noticed when looking at SMM_CST_MISC_INFO is that it only mentions c-states C0-C3 and not C4. I'm not sure what to make of this but just thought it might be useful for people to know.

Maybe we can contact some people from the ACPI project at sourceforge and get their help? cheers, Sheer On 4/7/07, Sven Anders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sheer El-Showk schrieb: > > Hi Sven, > > > > Thanks for coming up with all this info.
