    Hi,

    I have a X61 with T7300 running on Windows XP. I'd like to ask Santa Rosa ThinkPad owners, is there a difference in CPU speed between Lowest and Low settings for Maximum CPU speed in Power manager? I noticed in both settings my CPU is always running at 100*8 = 800MHz (CPU-Z 1.40.5). I'd love to see the Low setting switch to 200*6 = 1200MHz max adaptively but that isn't the case now.

    The versions of the relevant drivers/software currently installed on my X61 are:

    Inputs from Santa Rosa ThinkPad owners would be appreciated. Thanks!
