Re: Enabling power states for Core 2 Duo

But are you saying that with most desktop mobos one doesn't usually have the
different power states available at all? So basically the only means to
conserve power is to scale the frequency?


Please update your BIOS and try.

I updated my Asus P5B Deluxe BIOS with no luck (this latest BIOS is about 1 month old). Still no power states. I would be nice to know if _any_ desktop C2D mobos have these C-states? (In x86_64 system).

I think I never mentioned:

I'm using 2.6.21.1 (actually gentoo-sources-2.6.21-r1)
My CPU is E6400.
