Hi All, I did some further digging into this problem and found that my CPU doesn't, from what I can see, even support throttling. Relevant terminal output is below. > [tony@localhost CPU0]$ cat info > processor id: 0 > acpi id: 0 > bus mastering control: yes > power management: yes > throttling control: no > limit interface: no > [tony@localhost CPU0]$ cat throttling > <not supported> Cheers, Tony Crouch > Hi Chris, > I ran an intensive script file and the scaling applet did change its > numerical values.
