anth0ny Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I have successfully installed Snow Leopard on my Dell M1530 laptop. The only non working functions seem to be sleep/restart/shutdown, but I believe this is an unsolved problem. Anyway: Can someone please tell me what Intel speedstep is and how I can tell if it is working on my OSX installation? I am just worried about frying my processor!!!

rokiii Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 you see it in your bios if its enabled or disabled. It's a function that lets OS operate with your CPU speed, so enabling/disabling this function in my case doesn't make any drastic changes on my motherboard P5W DH Deluxe & CPU behaviour...

Ahh thanks, I do have it enabled in my BIOS, but I wondered if it worked on OSX correctly and if there was a way of knowing it was working from within OSX?

Volcacius Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 It doesn't work by default, unless you have patched hpet in DSDT. Anyway, just look if you have appleintelcpupowermanagment.kext loaded typing kextstat in terminal. Install openhaltrestart for reboot/shutdown.

I thought that there was no fix for reboot/shutdown on my nvidia? (6800GT) using Chameleon eneabler for video...? Do you have a link to this kext? I have this line in terminal: 18 0 0x41c86000 0x18000 0x17000 com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement (90.0.0) <7 6 5 4 3 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188971-intel-speed-step-on-106/#findComment-1281208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
