I"ve just spent the last couple days researching why my athlon64 3200+ kept
registering that its speed was 997mhz-sometimes would jump around and up to
2mhz(what its supposed to be), then back down to 997mhz. rolled back driver-
at a constant 2mhz-go to amd.com look for lastest drivers-8/04.
installed-system back to 997mhz. come to find out this is amd's powernow
driver-only runs full speed when needed-like the idea, but for whatever
reason, system will not restart with this driver, which isnt a big deal to me
if its saving my proccessor life, but if it makes games run any slower-at-all
(meaning if extra steps are performed to switch back and forth, maybe
slowing), then I'd rather keep the old driver-anybody have knowledge about
this?
