Spent a lot of time here, between the years of 1998-2000. Shutdown when the city increased the rent to the point where the proprietor could no longer operate.

…that really sucked.

I’m usually a very upbeat person — most stuff doesn’t get me down, no matter how bad it is.  I always try to look for a good side.

However, when I have a day when just everything goes wrong, and then everything I do to make it better goes wrong, sometimes even I feel like just giving up.

Well, I did just that, however then my installation of Ubuntu 8.10 wouldn’t correctly step the processor up/down (because it had been configured with a Celeron, which doesn’t support those things).

Well, as I found out (somewhere on the Ubuntu forums), all you have to do is add “p4_clockmod” to your running modules (edit the file “/etc/modules” and place it at the end) and then restart.

Simple as pie. I’m quite surprised at the amount of speed switching this processor does — I’ve seen it step from 2.6 GHz to 2.2 GHz all the way down to 600 and 300 MHz. Amazing, and great for energy use and cooling, too.
