This thing runs darn cool and uses a lot less power, at least compared to
P4 3.xG chips.
Are these the modules you were referring to?
cpufreq_conservative 11912 0
cpufreq_ondemand 10892 2
cpufreq_userspace 9088 0
cpufreq_powersave 5888 0
speedstep_centrino 12832 1
freq_table 8832 1 speedstep_centrino
How can I confirm I am using an SMP kernel? Does that fact that it
recognizes the core 2 duo mean I am?
