Yes.

Then get the one for your OS/version.

That page does not have a Cool'N'Quiet software for Windows XP, only
Windows 2000 and below, like I said. I have the AMD processor driver
from that page loaded.

You should read the page a little better:

"AMD Cool'n'Quiet / PowerNow! Dashboard Demo - This utility displays a graphical dashboard
showing the current voltage, frequency, power savings, and utilization of a processor
running on a Cool'n'Quiet or PowerNow! enabled system. The utility can be run on Windows
2000, Windows XP, and 64-bit Windows.
See the release notes for more detail"

I don't know if it is or not. I don't really have any proof of it
working one way or the other because there was no software... it was
just a processor driver for WinXP. My temperature on the CPU didn't
lower (or raise, for that matter) and I don't seem to have any software
loaded that can tell me what it's doing.



Download CPU-Z http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php#download. What does it say for
Core Speed on the first page?

Go to Start Control Panel Power Options and under Power Schemes select
Minimal Power Management.

All that does is show a graphical display that tells me the CPU is
running at 100% and all voltages are normal, etc. I've already looked
at that one too.

Core speed: 2247.3... 2247.5... 2247.4... (refreshing)

Aha, that might have done the trick. Now CPUID says I'm running at half
the core speed as earlier...

Wow, now that's a difference... temperature went from 111'F to 75-77'F.

Thanks for all the help, guys - I'll run with this for a bit
