    Has anyone actually tested to see if NHC and such programs work with Santa Rosa? I can't for the life of me get it to work. I have set NHC to dynamic whatever and it didn't do anything

    I can see that Intel has its own auto setting where it goes down to 1.1Ghz and then up to 2.2Ghz (I am using a Lenovo N200 which has a T7300)

    (Basically I run down on a 6-cell battery pretty damn fast, and I want to prolong it)

    Does no one know how to resolve my problem? (I could have sworn there were more people with Santa Rosa)

    Dynamic switching and NHC vista is not working right. There is no fix currently. Need to wait for a new version.

    Oh I keep forgetting to mention this... I am using Windows XP Pro with SP2
    Any other ideas?

    (This forum needs to have the Guru3d style listing of what type of computer you have in profile, or sidebar)

    *bump*

    Any updates on the situation?

    I noticed a microcode was released for Intel stuff... does that concern me?
