RE:"the tests by Bert McComas showed that the only way to get the P4 out of half speed mode was to reboot. Considering that this has been shown to happen running commercially available engineering applications like Matlab, and considering that 3/4 of the workstations used by engineers are rebooted only once or twice a week, the P4 is unsuitable for engineers until this problem is fixed"
