Default AMD PowerNow With Windows 2003?

Exactly, and after you install this to Windows 2003 you have a driver
only,
and no practical way to configure that driver's behavior. And how do
you
know when the CPU has shifted to a higher speed?


You use the utilty that came with the MB or download any of many
monitoring programs like MBM. And by the way, I don't use windows.

HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm


got this from the AMD site also.

AMD Clock Version 2.0.1 - AMDClock shows the current speed of each core of
each AMD processor in a system. The user has the ability to choose to run
the application on top of all other applications and to select the refresh
rate for reporting the speeds.


We already had AMD Clock and Processor Monitor installed. If you are an
end user who is always logged into a console I guess these make sense. For
a server where you might login once every few days, it's not all that
helpful. For a server you want something more like a time graph, and you
want to have explicit control over the conditions that trigger the higher
CPU speeds.

A server user might push up the speeds three times each day and this tool
wouldn't help you see that unless you were logged in and looking at it
during the right time periods.
