    Hey everyone,
    I am trying to undervold my Core Duo T2500, but am having some problems even before I start. I want to make sure I have all the information I need before I start messing around with the Computer.
    I am using this link as a guide for undervolting my comp: http://www.nordichardware.com/Articles/?skrivelse=465&page=4
    It seems to be a very good website and a very step by step procedure. The only problem is that the RM clock that I have downloaded looks a little different than the pics of the one that he has. The RM clock that I downloaded looks like these thumbnails I have attatched. I have the one on the right. These main program settign seem to be vital for the succesful completion of my undervolting, so why are they missing on the program. The checkmark boxes are missing and I am really concerned about attempting to undervolt with this, not knowing how to use it. Even the management tab is all screwed up compared to the one in the guide. Maybe I should try and download an older version, or if someone knows how to use this version maybe they can help me. I really want to do this undervolting, but like everything I do, I want to do it right. So if anyone has the time to help me with these observed problems I would greatly appreciate it.

    Since the 2.0 version, the UI of RMClock has changed somewhat, but on most sites that have these guides you still see the older interface.

    Anyway, the way it looks doesn't change the way it functions.
    You can now set 3 different profiles for use on battery, and three for use on AC power. The older versions only allow you to define 3 profiles, and then choose which one to use on battery and which one on AC. That's the main difference.

    Also, the latest version has numerous fixes for the CoreDuo, so I wouldn't advise you to revert to an older version.

    Just have a look around in RMClock, you'll find all the options described in the guide, although they're located somewhere else.

    The principle of undervolting remains the same, so that shouldn't be a problem.

    Yes, I understand. I have looked around and feel a little okay using RM clock now except that in the guide it says to pick the profile "Automatic Management" in the beggining, which is not an option in this newer version. Do you know what I should do at this step, should I go to the tab "No Management". Thanks.

    Does NHC (Notebook hardware control) support core duo's yet? I find NHC to be really nice.

    @AnimCreed; "Automatic Management" is now called "Performance on Demand"

    @Flav_cool; this is what I found on the NHC website
    (01.04.2006)
    News and fixes in the Notebook Hardware Control BETA 02
    - add support for Intel Core Duo / Solo

    Now I just found another bug that I think might be serious. When I checkbox the P-state transitions and dry to add or modify one, the lowest voltage that I am able to select is .95 volts, which is what my computer already normally runs at. It seems to me that maybe RM Clock does not allow my computer to be undervolted because it does not provide the option. Has anyone ecountered this problem yet. Maybe someone has an idea that can help me undervolt this E1505?
