    I was wondering if anyone knew if using RMClock would make my computer speedstep differently?

    I don't mean voltage but I mean switching to different multipliers at different cpu load's. Im sure Intel set a standard to follow and im wondering if RMClock changes it and if its for the better or worse?

    you can play around with the delay to go from one step to another, in addition to eliminating certain steps (multipliers). Plus of course the undervolting.

    You can add any speedstep you want. The standard ones are pretty good, so most people stick to it. There is no harm is going to other speedstep, but be sure to give adequate voltage for that speed.

    The one thing to avoid is to go into fraction multipliers(as in 1.5x, 2.5xinstead of whole numbers 1x, 4x) which is not such a good idea.

    You can also configure it to enter deeper sleep states on higher sleep state commands i.e. "Enter C4 on C3 Command."

    Is checking this option recommended on a Core Duo?

    Also, do you guys think its better to have just 2 states (1 minimal, 1 maximal)?
