It's an AMD 1333 with an A7V board. Is this typical behaviour? If so, I'll just underclock the CPU in the bios. I was hoping to be able to run it at full speed during builds. All this ACPI stuff seems interesting, is it well documented anywhere? The man page wasn't of much use. thanks, sh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
