It baffles me to see my 3.0GHz Xeon underperformed by a huge margin compared to a 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo, both on a Mac platform.

WorkUnit ID 47744130

Make sure Speed Step is disabled in the BIOS

Sorry, I'm on a Mac which does not use BIOS....

no, they have "openfirmware" when i googeld mac bios.. http://blandname.com/2006/09/20/wheres-my-mac-bios-how-to-get-into-openfirmware-easily/ looks like its just a command line / shell interface tho.

seeing without seeing is something the blind learn to do, and seeing beyond vision can be a gift.

AFAIK, Open Firmware is only native to PowerPC-based Macs. I have an Intel-based Mac which uses Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI).
