C1E equivalent on older motherboards may be called HALT (on Idle) or something similar. These BIOS options are usually under CPU settings or power management settings in the BIOS.

You may want to confirm that these are indeed active by using something like CPU-Z or one of those motherboard monitor programs that indicate actual CPU speed.
Hi Eldata,

Speedstep-
I got playing with the bios settings last night and must have disabled something i shouldn't have. I'll restore them tomorrow and go from there. "XP Home Edition" is my OS, and looking at the link you provided, it does not indicate that my OS is Speedstep capable. "XP SP2",however is listed. Anyway this will be easy to check, and i have the "Power Scheme" setting to "Always on" so it should be right.
C1E or Halt
I don't recall seeing this sucker but I'll have a look again tomorrow and if i find it I'll wring its little neck:boxing:
I,ll get back to you tomorrow night and let you know how i go. So close i can smell it!

Regards Julian.
