I'd like to know if it's possible to set a specified clock speed of a mobile cpu (duron 1ghz) to let's sat, always be 500mhz, or always be 1000mhz ? Their range are dynamics and doing quite a nice job, but sometimes I'd like to know it's always at a specified freq.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 89W :: Asus M2N32SLI Deluxe :: 2x1024MB Muskin XP2-6400 DDR2-800 :: BeQuiet! Darkpower Pro 530W :: 2x WD Raptor 74GB/10k rpm, RAID 0 :: ATI Radeon X1950XTX

that will make the cpu at 100% all the time


I want it to be 50% all the time ..

unless someone custom develops the software, this can not happen.

cheers,

dave

If you could get into the BIOS, then you could just half the speed of the proc? Don't know, just throwing out ideas...

I have heard that PowerNow has three settings/modes. Automatic where the systems monitors usage on the system and adjusts accordingly, High Performance mode where the processor gets set to it's maximum potential, and a Power Saver mode that sets the processor to run at the lowest frequency. I have yet to find where to select these modes.

i dont have a such bios option, but id like to see a utility that would let you select the performance/power settings
