So now I guess it would be nice to get the CPU's autoscale turned off some how. I remember when I upgraded my thinkpad laptop's processor to a p3 proc on a p1 board the autostepping on the p3 was "disabled" due to the p1 incapability of utilizing this feature. So. Either a debug session to turn it off or a cut trace on the mainboard.
Any takers?
Now that I've pulled the wool from my eyes I really would like to tackle this autostep situation with some hands on experimenting... Any direction from anyone would be appreciated. Even if it means opening up my referb'd POS, I'm fine with that.
So. Another question. If I lock my proc @ 520 (like it already is) is it still speed stepping with the built in CPU's stepping (my guess is yes) and if so why doesn't it do it effectively enough to actually save power? Does it only step one down or does it actually alter the frequency in a non-multiplier fashion?

I've got the gun to my 6700's display. I'm ready to pull the trigger.
