You are right. I have no interest in crazy graghics and I'm not a gamer. In another life I needed supercomputer mathematical brute force CPU power (think Cray back in the day) but no longer.

I've set mine to 100% across the board for years as well. Matt and I have had discussions on those same settings for years now. Since that setting is in power options, I believe the throttling is just used to save power in allowing your CPUs to run slower. So gaming, music, it doesn't really matter. You want it off to keep your CPUs running at their highest rate all the time. If your CPU is constantly changing from slow to fast, you'll get glitches in audio and gaming video as a result. Hence the 100% rate keeps them consistent.

Hmmm, this is bringing back a memory. I seem to remember that when Matt upgraded he was talking about preventing overclocking. My general knowledge from what I've read over the years agrees with this. Fast forward a month or so ago when I was speccing out this machine. I had a Dell sales girl on the phone and I asked her if overclocking would be prevented. She said as a standard practice overclocking is disabled and should be disabled on my machine.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
