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.

Just force the cpu speed to high in your bios setup.

I have no idea how to fix this! 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.
