I wonder if anyone have tried using Overdrive, and know the answer to my question. I want to know if changes made in Overdrive would last over a reboot.

Reason why I ask is that I may have some interesting uses of a Phenom because it can independently clock the cores (which AFAIK other chips can't do for now). But I don't see any BIOS that seem to do what I want - i.e. let me clock the cores independently, and I think my last hope is with Overdrive.

I never used Overdrive but I think it's logical that the settings will be saved. Give it a try.

Not unless you tell it to start the AOD assistant with windows. Which can be bad if it's an unstable OC or AOD version.

Unfortunately, Windows is of no use for what I might do with Phenom.

I'm in a grad class on mulit-core OS research, and AOD can help create a makeshift hetereogenous system (i.e. not all cores performs at the same level). Windows is useless because I have no way to access the source, and/or modify the schedulers, etc...

Since Mathos seems definite that AOD settings does not persist over reboot, does your board allow individual clocking of the cores?
