Hi,

  I'm running 4-Stable on my workstation.  I've enabled the AMD761 feature
to send an Athlon into a "suspend" state, a trick used for a while on Windows
boxes:
       pciconf -w -b pci0:0:0 0x62 0xb7

It lowered my CPU temp from 40.5 C to 22 C.  I haven't noticed any problems, 
but is there any reason this might cause problems?

Thanks,

Rob
