Comment on PowerNow2 - Still catching up to the 550 posts you guys wrote in the last 2 days, but here's my impression of PowerNow2. 1. I don't believe the 200 ms. switching time and suspect it's 200 microseconds. Someone might have used "ms" as an incorrect abbreviation and I wouldn't trust any marketing types to know the difference. 2. Additional MHz rates may be obtained by rapidly switching the divider. LIke "divide by 10 for 16 cycles then divide by 11 for 32 cycles." Just about any average clock cycles per second could be obtained and the power consumption would be proprotional to the average frequency. 3. As an alternative to (2), if the CPU is switching randomly dozens of times a second, then the frequency displayed by an LED averaging over, say 1/10 second, could be displaying just about anything.
