AMD Cool & Quiet

I notice when playing games, opening/closing various apps, etc. my CPU
constantly switches to and from 2.4GHz/1.0GHz (power mgmt is set to
portable/laptop). I like this, it dont seem to compromise performance and it
idles alot cooler, however, is this frequent changing of the CPU speed too
hard on it and should I just set it to one of the other settings that keeps
it at 2.4 all the time? Thanks for any info provided.

Makes no difference to the CPU. It's not the same as turning it off
completely. Leave it as it is - what's the point in thrashing the nuts
off it at 2.4GHz when you're reading a webpage, e-mail or typing up a
letter? It is AMD Cool'n'Quiet mode doing it's job. Thought it had to
be set on Minimal Power Management for it to work though.

Agree that it's excellent though.
