As is well known AMD's Athlon/Duron is a "hot" CPU. It really produces a
|
|
lot of heat. This is mainly because it consumes a lot of electric power.
|
|
However, there is an another reason: Generally CPU goes into power-save mode
|
|
when it is in the idle state, but in almost all the mother boards this is
|
|
prohibited in the case of Athlon/Duron mother boards in their original BIOS
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
This software changes the PCI configuration data of the chipset (north
|
|
bridge), and allow Athlon/Duron to go into power-save mode. The principle is
|
|
very simple if you have information. Actually, you can do exactly the same
|
|
thing as this software manually by using the "pciconf" command in FreeBSD.
