    I'm not sure why you would want to underclock, the clarksfield and arrandale processors throttle down automatically when not under load.

    How about OVERclocking the CPU with setfsb? Has that been achieved yet?

    Is 460m the same, or would it require a diff option in setfsb? Shoot, does setfsb support 460m yet?

    well you can get lucky after trying all the options in setfsb.

    or you can find it on the motherboard itself somewhere (taking computer apart, hoping it was written down on it somewhere, etc).

    or well yeah. those really are your only options

    also if you get things wrong the computer freezes when you try to get or (getting the fsb works) set the fsb to something else.

    Is it different for EVERY INDIVIDUAL E14 unit, or all same for i5s / all same for i7s.
