|  Re: Speed Stepping? In Vista, I've noticed that not having your computer on the High Performance power setting (the default is balanced) will actually declock your CPU for you to save power. I think, of course, this is only at idle, but you'd probably be checking your settings at idle, so this may work for you. Give it a try.  - Core 2 Quad Q6600 - DFI Infinity 975X - 4GB Corsair XMS2 w/ DHX DDR2-800 - 250GB Seagate 7200.10RPM + 160GB Hitachi 5400.4RPM - ATi Radeon X1900XT 256MB - Cooler Master Centurion 5 + OCZ StealthXStream 600W - Acer 19" P191W Monitor - Logitech Z-5500 Digital + Logitech MX Revolution - Vista Ultimate x64 | ||||||||||||||
