Hey...I have a VA-10 that confuses my Mobile Duron...

Hey all! :-)
My problem stems from the fact , apparently, that my Duron 1.2 GHz processor
is a MOBILE.
Therefore, from what I have read on CPU-WORLD.COM , it has a "low-power"
mode setting, that slows it down to a operating frequency of 500 MHz...in a
kinda' sleep-yet-function mode.
If I increase the processor's voltage, will that take it out of this
particular phase of operation?

THanks. in advance....

I have heard of Intel cpu's slowing down (intelligently) but not for
AMD cpu's. Do you have a link?

Look for PowerNow! on AMD's website. Their mobile processors have featured
this for some time.

Right. PowerNow has been around for awhile but I wasn't aware that
reducing the running frequency was one of it's characteristics...

I've used "rain" and "cpuidle" in the past on K6-2 processors. You
might try their web pages to see if they do what you want.

Not sure what Rain's web page is...
