It’ll only be when my Windows laptop is on, so don’t expect any huge high power contributions. Pity my 26GCems for TeamBeOS -years- back couldn’t be brought over… every little helps, like :wink:

Understandable… I actually have a friend that cooked his laptop running SoB for TeamHaiku 24x7 - careful :wink:

That’s why I stopped. :stuck_out_tongue: Too hot to work with.

I have 2 older laptops that I used to run it on - I simply used the intel speed stepping to drop it down - ran a bit slower, but also ran a lot cooler…

I’m running on AMD64, is there anything similar to Intel Speedstep?

Hmm…I don’t know what technology AMD offers for mobile users to reduce power when they’re on battery power - but that would be the same you would use to underclock the processor I’m sure.

yup, AMD64s have PowerNow, which will reduce clock speeds under light load unless you tell it not to (let userspace take over).

just fyi,

[root@ezri64 cpu0]# cat cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
1800000
[root@ezri64 cpu0]# cat cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq
1000000
[root@ezri64 cpu0]# cat cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
1800000 1000000
[root@ezri64 cpu0]# cat cpufreq/scaling_governor
userspace

PowerNow! for AMD64 for BeOS http://bebits.com/app/4270
