Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: 3200+ -> X2 4000+

[Beso]

try using powerthend as a daemon with userspace governor under linux, and in
winzoz download the cpu program for dual core daemon from amd site....
powethend gives you the power you need when you need it, and for i have
learned it is able to handle both cores....
