Pretty impressive though.

i do notice in vista my cpu voltage is lower on idle and on a load it raises. But my clocks stay the same, or else i would be pissed

Yes..

More programs running = more load = more energy.

Less program running = less load = Less Energy

XP users can use Performance on Demand (and other kinds of profiles) by installing the RightMark CPU Clock Utility. It runs my 2GHz CPU on 800MHz when I don’t need its power (most of the time).

This is the first reply on that link.. More like Speedstep...
