    Good eyes ReZ & mc2k. I see what you guys are talking about: When the multiplier is set to auto in Extreme Tweaker in BIOS 0802, the "Intel Speedstep" option is all of a sudden present in the "Advanced" Menu under CPU Config menu... You weren't seeing ghosts after all. My question is to you guys with newer BIOS's is, is the same true for you guys. I'm on 0802 now. When I got this board, the newest release was 0901, and that's where I started. Lotsa work to get back to older BIOS's with us peeps with 64bit OS's...

    What took you guys so long? It's been there in all the bioses (at least in all I've tested). I always disable that before changing CPU ratio. It's some type of pre-emption put in there by asus engineers ---- as soon as you touch the cpu ratio (we know you're overclocking so) we disable speedstep for you. Otherwise, windows could take over and downclock your cpu; makes sense to me. All serious overclockers disable all cpu features, even though for stable, secure, 24/7 use, it is wise to enable CIE, speedstep, Execute Disable Bit, and the Temp Monitor.

    @ Rez, I hope you're not mistaking speedstep for HTT?
