SubjectRe: Linux 2.6.30-rc8 [also: VIA Support]


Side note: is it more stable if you disable the VIA speedstep thing
(whatever it's called (ok, google tells me it's called "TwinTurbo" and
"Advanced PowerSaver")?

Features like that easily put a huge stress on power regulators etc, if
they result in sudden changes in current draw. Underspecced capacitors
etc can cause CPU "brown-outs", which in turn can easily cause total
failure.
