    I have successfully installed Vista on my W3V. Everything is working perfectly, except that the display brightness does change according to the power plan (I read that this requires a BIOS update, but I digress). However, I have noticed that even though I have set the minimum processor state to 5% in Power4Gear eXtreme and Power Plan Options, according to Resource Monitor, Vista does not lower the CPU frequency in times of minimal use. Is anyone else affected by this problem and/or have a possible solution?

    Thanks!
