Its speedstep; when your processor is idle it throttles down to conserve energy and create less heat. As soon as you kick on a CPU intensive task, it will ramp up...try it. You can usually disable this in the BIOS if you really don't want to use it, but even if you OC, why not leave it on?

It's a power saving feature which runs the processor slower when there is little load on it. You can disable EIST/SpeedStep if you want, but if the system is otherwise stable you may as well leave it alone.

The more I read the forums, the more I feel that a number of individuals would be well served by skipping their next GPU purchase in favor of a little "Stress relief" from the local 'Working Girls'"

^^ No joke. But, it will just get ignored by first time users anyway, just like the 'Should I buy a dual or quad core...I'm so confused' threads or the 'What do you think of my system' builds that are just like everyone else except with a different case or memory vendor.

Exactly, I take forums as a place to look for some initial information, not the end all of knowledge that is to be. You never know if someone who has 20 years of experience or a 12 year old is on posting content.

Google is your friend. Reading is good. Knowledge is only power if you obtain it for yourself.

Yup, Rodney that'll probably the next question. Which bring up a good point, I wonder if MS will even bother making a 32-bit version of Windows 7(Vienna). Should just jump to 64 and be done with it for a while.
