Hmm, I have since realised it's an E2140 which doesn't have Core2Duo=20 branding (I don't know if it really IS one or not). On the bench here I could not observe an effect by running=20 dd if=3D/dev/zero bs=3D128k count=3D5000| md5 in a loop and checking the frequency with dev.cpu.0.freq However the idle time seemed to go up, but only to 10% or so, it was=20 quite odd.. Still, now I have been reminded of coretemp I can monitor it=20 on "suspect" systems :) =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart35789273.YECnIvQjDX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBKqGjl5ZPcIHs/zowRArbWAJ9EYE3AtaH+QDh3nivHF4KP2LdDfQCdHFvV p7ZqB+hT5CpdwLktrQqFE78= =Ct6F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart35789273.YECnIvQjDX--
