[ubuntu-za] Ubuntu 12.04 behaviour

[FransIT]

Amd calls it cool and quiet,
Intel called it speed step at a time...not sure about now.

You can also check for anything about throttle

II have found my systems to be much more responsive to sudden increases 
in load after this


I also set my minimum fan speed to the highest permitted...just to keep 
things cool.

The greyed out screens Ubuntu give is the same as the "Not Responding" 
message Windows gives.

  When working on a computer you have to know enough:
  To fake what you don't know.
  Google what you can't fake.
  How (and when) to 'motivate' the computer to do what Google won't tell.
