Download MobileMeter and see what that says. To enable Intel SpeedStep, set the power scheme in Windows XP to Portable/Laptop. I am not too familiar with GNOME, so you will have to look around in the settings in Ubuntu. Make sure ACPI thermal management or processor throttling is enabled. __________________ - Matt M - KB1OSC - Folding@Home 85015 [url="http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/"] If TSF has helped you, please consider donating.
