Re: I love this features in Vista - CPU Clock control

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Every laptop has it as a means to use less battery. Some people will use this to overclock.

I like the CPU speed control in Power-->Advaanced settings, with precision to 1%.

We've always had it in IBm Thinkpads, since IBm sold it to China which rebranded it as Lenovo, I switched to American HP.
Regular Windows, not taylored by IBM, was never aware of Thinkpads unique internals.

Now with Vista it doesn't matter, i can control processor and I CAN SEE & HEAR RESULTS! Suppose fan is blowing and my hand can feel warm air flowing from vents, I tested it several times when I switch from CPU 100% to 25%, fan slows down stops, air gets cooler, and fan is often stopped which gives me some peace in temrs of reliability. A hot computer is bound to sustain permanent damage, heat is the biggest killer of electronics.

So I switch to 100% when running CAD & Graphics/Video apps, 25% when writing articles, 10% when reading/browsign plain text, of course I don't annoy myself by clicking switches and playign with this instead of real work.

But still i appreciate this control, because I my profession is electroncis-related I just like this type of clock frequency control.
IBM also provided us with automatic CPU, automatic PCI bus or fixed PCI bus frequency, optical drive turn-off time in addiiton to harddisk timer found in Vista, and IBm wrote a "PS2" utility ran under DOS or Win command prompt for real techies who get deep into hardware, we don't have that in Vista but I don't care.
I have a real quiet laptop now despite its gigantic 17inch display and hardware meant for hard-core CAD, Graphics & Gaming, you don't alway sneed processor toiling hard in summer heat, only asking for potential fan damage-->CPU damage, so thsi control is nice....
