/cpuspeed is doing the speed stepping.

do this:  dmesg |grep -i powernow

to gain some insight

nope

/I would guess it's a combination of throttled CPU and slow hard disk.

/why buy a 64bit system if you aren't going to use a 64bit OS?
------------------------

dmesg | grep -i powernow 
didnt give me much...

ACPI: SSDT (v001 PTLD POWERNOW 0x0604000 LTP 0x00001) @ 0x3fefeec0

I am just running the 32 bit version now until which time I can download
the 64 bit. I need a bigger pipe....

I just wanted to see what the machine would do while I waited... :)
