If you dual boot with Windows then the cpu speed you get depends on what Windows set it to last before it got shut down, I get 500MHz if I shutdown windows when running from battery and 650MHz if I shut down from AC power, I'd love it if FreeBSD supported choosing the frequency :) -- Simon Dick simond@irrelevant.org "Why do I get this urge to go bowling everytime I see Tux?"
