Well, I have speedstep on my Core 2 Duo notebook and I can Definitly tell when its running in Performance mode (full speed) and when its not. There is ever so slight a lag, just enough to be irritating when its trying to save power. Since I can't hear the fans anyway on this notebook, I run in performance unless I'm not plugged in. Some of us do other stuff besides email. I know that's hard to believe. ;-) -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
