Yesterday I needed to open an Excel file. The only way for me to do that is with a bootable Linux CD which has OpenOffice on it. Now Linux is *very* chatty when it boots which makes a bootable CD a very useful diagnostic. Anyway, one of the things it tells you is the processor speed - which was very low 167 MHz. I plugged in the AC charger and rebooted. This time it said a higher figure as expected, 670 MHz but not the full speed of the CPU 850MHz. Then I recalled that in my messing about one of the things I tried was disabling the Intel Speedstep. So I turned it from disabled back to automatic. Within minutes the box had crashed. I tried again with a setting of always max but that too crashed. I then tried again with disabled but with the offending network card, as I thought, installed. No crash. Put back the card drivers and it is still going. So it looks like the speedstep. Google tells me others have had problems with this and also disable. -- Regards Dave Saville
