Applications that attempt to adjust their behaviour based upon the measured CPU speed (e.g. video games like Unreal Tournament) may behave erratically on lap-tops that use CPU speed stepping to save battery power. You can turn off speed stepping under XP by going to the Power control panel and selecting the Home Office/Desk power configuration. I'm not sure how people figured this out -- the control panel does not offer any clues as to what system parameters are adjusted for each setting and the Microsoft documentation is no help either. It works, though.
... until the collector arrives ...
This "blog" is really just a scratchpad of mine. There is not much of general interest here. Most of the content is scribbled down "live" as I discover things I want to remember. I rarely go back to correct mistakes in older entries. You have been warned :)
