Hi Dimitry and Marco, thanks a lot for answering the question.
Yes, yesterday I spent some time in the net and found this in an o'reilly site, I think. I didn't want to complain. You're doing a great work and I hope you keep on doing it. This issue is more frequent with the relatively newer models like T43p or does it also affect the older ones (like e.g. ibm thinkpad x31)? And why should it be a secret the speeds a cpu can run? I don't understand intel's position. Yes, sha1 -t gave a speed difference! I will try playing with the adaptive option of the bios thanks again, Pau
