As much as I dislike flash, lots of websites I visit (including one of my own) are in flash so I do wish I could view them. Actually, I guess one more thing would be OpenOffice since the current version of AbiWord in ports has some known bad crashing issues with the amd64 version of FreeBSD. -Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Would upgrading to -CURRENT help at all? First, you could start by not cross-posting to three different mailing lists. Then, change the power-saving settings that you have in the system's bios. Laptops do not always run at their rated clock speed. Doing so would have a significant negative impact on the system's battery life. As such, plugging in your laptop before the system posts, will likely yield a Mhz guestimate much closer to what you were expecting.

RE: AMD64 Woes
That's exactly the problem. The BIOS won't let me. And the AC line is plugged in. Windows XP Pro detects it correctly, there's something something else going on with BSD. -Original Message- From: Phil Brennan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 2:33 AM To: Remi Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: AMD64 Woes Just force the cpu speed to high in your bios setup.
