Petz,

Palomino at 1.33 GHz with PowerNow makes a lot of sense for the corporate small form factor computers, like Compaq's SFF EN line.

Petz, Re: "just enabling power management on a desktop PC would save lots more power than the 10 watts that would be saved by changing the MHz"

PowerNow provides both clock and voltage adjustment while using the processor and should be a lot more than 10W for a 1.33GHz T-Bird for "normal" office use.

Does "power management" offer any intermediate step between full power and idle and even at idle how much does it drop the processor power requirement?

-PT
