AMD Cool n' Quiet

Does anyone know how to enable Cool n' Quiet on BETA 5384 (32 bit)? I have
tried all three power settings and the processor (Athlon64 3200+) always
runs at full freq and voltage.

I have checked the AMD website for updated processor drivers and help
related to this topic, but none exist.

Though there isn't a driver available, you can use the power setting in
Vista to change the setting. Just right click on your desktop, personalize,
screen saver, change power setting and you will have the option of changing
the power rating.

Thanks, but it does not work. In previous versions of Windows, setting the
power to "Minimal Power Management" would allow the system to throttle the
freq and voltage of the proc. This does not occur with Vista Beta 2, using
any of the three available power schemes. Upon further research, I have
discovered that Vista does not support this function, which makes it much
less desirable because of it.
