Speedstep disabled how to enable ?

[Rocky1972]

Hello,

I do have a server with this processor:

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8Q5

It does support enhanced speedstep but I it's not available in ESX4i ?

Also the processor is detected as a socket 478 instead, but it's a socket 775 processor.

ESX4i runs fine, 32bit OS'es ofcourse but no error's

SpeedStep needs to be configured and enabled in the BIOS - which may or may not be possible - and then enabled in ESXi through the advanced configuration option "Power.CpuPolicy" - set this from the default "manual" to "dynamic".

Please award points to any useful answer.
