Hello.

When I use my old AMD Athlon 64 desktop systems, I used its AMD
Cool'n'Quiet to slow down speed during slow usages (e.g., Web surfing or
just idled) and speed up when I use my system instensively (e.g.,
gaming) to save electricity, less heat, etc. I upgraded computer
system's hardwares before 2009.

I read that Windows XP Pro. SP3 already speed throttles by default, but
I can't tell like Cool'n'Quiet. With AMD, I could feel much slower
speeds and faster speeds drastically. How can I find out if my Intel
system is properly speed throttling? I see that in XP's system
properties' general tab show Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz,
2.81 GHz, etc. as I type this post. I also tried MSI's Dual Core Center
software to read its clock numbers (2264 MHz rarely to 2814 MHz a lot
even if I am just typing an e-mail/a newsgroup post). Is that working
correctly?

http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm.../computers.txt (primary
computer) for the detailed system setup.

Thank you in advance.

Not sure on th Core 2 CPUs but the motherboard requires to have a
"step-down" mode and usually the Intel "mobile" grade CPUs do have
same like this.

Also, you can add a cooling feature with CPUCool??

Check you BIOS, by default this feature is disabled
on my ASUS motherboard.

I don't know. I never heard of CPUCool. Is that a cooler software?

I followed the instructions on
http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/rese...eng/203838.htm ... I
never set to minimal power scheme. I changed its monitor shutoff to
three hours instead and everything to never turn off like HDD.

Now I get @ 2.33GHz and 2.39 GHz in XP's System Properties' general tab.
I think it is working now?

Is that EIST for in CMOS/BIOS? I didn't see anything else on speed
throttle except manual and automatic clock speeds. I looked in the
manual (PDF v1.0 English):
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?f...1&prod_no=1720
and searched for EIST, and found it. I will have to check when I reboot
later.

OK, I can feel some sluggish like I did with Athlon 64 so it seems to be
working.
