Correct. For real OS is important what says ACPI. But vendors test mainly on Windows that's why you can have so often crappy version of ACPI because vendors are using horrible workarounds to pass ACPI tests. Those are uncovered on Unix-like systems.
Can't find similar man page in OpenSolaris (grub page is very short) but you can get idea here http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=boot&sektion=8&arch=i386 And why are you using overlocked CPU? Because as you can see in prstat or top (even on other OS's) your CPU is most of the time just idle. More important is memory. On OpenBSD my 2,4GHz dual core is running more then 95% of time only on 800MHz and it's about 50% idle even when compiling some huge program, running Firefox with a lot of tabs, with high number of opened terminals and so on in same time. And similar is true for OpenSolaris even with its additional apps like Gnome and so on. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
