How to verify Turbo Boost working / speed on i920

[3DCGdesign]

thanks wevsspot,

I'm on Vista 64bit... perhaps it is as you say... and perhaps related to the "64bit" part of the OS?

Yes, it's definitely related to the 64-bit versions of Vista and Win 7 64-bit. I can put the 32-bit versions of either of those on the same hardware and sleep works just fine.

 

In fact - I was so frustrated with the sleep function not working after I put Windows 7 64-bit on my laptop I spent the better part of a week arguing with tech support at MSI. Their final answer was that the hardware in my laptop was never designed to run a 64-bit OS. Hawgwash - everything works on my travel laptop with Win 7 64 except the sleep function (and one that I would appreciate working the most).

I find the Sleep function hit or miss with any board....

 

for me... the Asus P5E-VM doesnt like it...does weird things...fans stay 100% coming out of sleep and thats too much for me...

 

the Abit x38 has no issues

 

the wifes Biostar 7050-HDMI every once in a while wont wake up but not very often it does that...

 

the HTPC TForce550 Sleeps fine...not one issue at all...

 

the Asus Socket 939 HATES it too

 

and the Server...well I just disabled it because I need it 24/7...No Sleep for you (nazi)

 

all rigs are Win7 x64 I have yet to try x32 and I prolly wont...
