| Vanilla speedstep “May I ask, where did you get the information about all your available p-states? I've tried extracting DSDT, it only gives me 2 states, and VoodooMonitor, based on SuperHai's VoodooPower.kext, only gives me 3 p-states. My CPU is a Q8400, 2.6…” | 10.X Core | 2009-10-14 26,523 dossier reads |
| Help adding graphics to DSDT “Is there an advantage/disadvantage of inserting gfx-information into the DSDT? Except that it's harder to edit in case you buy a new one ..” | 10.X Core | 2009-10-14 6,560 dossier reads |
| 10.5.2, Freezes at boot, “I'm still struggling with the same issue, surely someone has to know something? At least tell me it's not doable, so I can stop trying” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-04-08 5,143 dossier reads |

| Stacks in grid mode causes freeze “Ok, I got the new PSU today, and guess what, didn't help at all! So I'm back where I started. Any ideas guys? What drivers should I try?” | Leopard 10.5 | 2009-07-02 3,416 dossier reads |
| Stacks in grid mode causes freeze “OK, I think figured it out. Removed the extra power cord from my GF 9600GT, so it would run 'half speed', it fixed the problem, and now everything's working smoothly.
