Hi Paul,

I'm taking a guess here (for Windows XP) so I assume under your "Add
or Remove Programs" you have "Athlon 64 Processor Driver" installed?

If so, then this knocks your multiplier and voltage down when your CPU
usage is low. It is a power saving thing. I get all the way down to 5
x 200 @ 1.072V from my usual 9 x 200 @1.5V. I have a 2800+
(NewCastle).

DDD.
