    What are the softwares needed to underclock the P9500 with full support of half multipliers?

    RMClock doesn't have half multipliers.

    CPUGenie does support half multipliers but it doesn't seem to work for me, I try to undervolt, say my 9.5x multiplier set to 0.975, when I test with Orthos and fire up CPUZ 1.41, it stays at 0.975V for about 10 seconds and then goes up to 1.075 which is the default voltage.

    Haven't tried Crystal CPU, is it good?

    What are others that are also good with this application?

    TIA.

    try to set your windows power management settings.
    the minimum and maximum processor state set it to 1%
    because if you put about 50% the windows power management will take over the control of your processor voltage.

    SSD, power saver mode, keep the brightness at 2 or 3, undervolt and underclock the lvl 1 gpu state (have yet to undervolt the cpu though) i get 2:50-3:10 depending on usage.
    EDIT - Vista SP2 helps too, it gets you up to 10% better power management.
