It looks like you may need a driver for some CPUs too.

Last time I installed the one from AMD I almost had to reinstall xp.
It would not boot and it took a lot of tinkering with registry to bring it
back to life. On the bright side, IE was partly broken in the process and
I'm now using firefox, much better.
Stay away from AMD CPU driver, I say.
That's exactly why I am a bit skittish here. I don't want to wreck the PC and have to spend hours to resurrect it. Sounds like muscle car tuning. Another quarter turn and poof, gone is the engine.
You mean your laptop does not have the clock slow-down feature
built-in?
No idea. According to the mfg it's "automatic", whatever that means, and there is no user interaction possible. The docs with laptops these days are so skimpy. Just a wee PDF file. Lots of pages of legalese (don't swallow the USB stick or whatever), another few pages of glitz. My first laptop even had the BIOS explained in great detail. A whole big chapter.
Other than that this machine is great. Tons of RAM, beat all the other more expensive ones in compile speed at the Cypress PSoC seminar, metal case. Really nice, I can go to a client this afternoon yet still keep up the back and forth chats with my layouter while there. Battery life is better than I thought, north of 2.5hrs.
