KotaXor Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Only for x86 platform, no x64?Gonna give it a shot on my x86 old desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackerz14 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 well... i think it has a native support for x64 OS.. and unfortunately it needs to be supported by your motherboard... i think 2006 model and up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qWantUS Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 sorry to be so negative but I am sure that it cannot save more energy than modern cpu's using their own power saving features. Corporations like Intel and AMD investing such great amount of money to the research and creating new ways to save more energy while being fast and responsive. Furthermore creating some account for something as little and useless as power saving software is such a waste of time and electricity ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niharjhatn Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I guess its useful for linux, as linux has absolutely atrocious (ubuntu 11 especially) power saving capabilities...I really wonder how they are aiming for tablets for ubuntu 12.04 (yes the power problems are a big hindrance - windows 7 i have ~3 hrs, ubuntu 1-1.5 :angry: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted November 14, 2011 Administrator Share Posted November 14, 2011 @niharjhatn: That's because of a serious Linux kernel bug that wasn't fixed from months or so. Just yesterday the linux devs fixed that bug. Lets see when does Ubuntu applies the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
