I think you're misunderstanding how turbo works then.... turbo is variable headroom frequency, but it's not guaranteed. So to not confuse older OSes, it's advertized as 1 Mhz more than the highest guaranteed frequency... ... but what you actually get is quite a bit more, at least 1 and often more bus multiplier steps.... _______________________________________________ Power mailing list [email protected] http://www.bughost.org/mailman/listinfo/power
