Only really seen it 'working' first hand this morning when installing Windows 7 Pro x64 on one of our HP 2230s laptops.
Going about it's normal business, the CPU was running at 780Mhz, 880Mhz, 980Mhz and peaking at 1,080Mhz, before dropping back to 780Mhz when things got a little quiet.
Changed the power settings to High Performance for it switch to 2,001Mhz and stay there. However, what really impressed me was that I couldn't really see any difference at all. I'm one of the biggest advocates of power, power, power - ALWAYS removing the Hibernation option from Windows XP and generally thinking when something needs to runs - give it power. When finished, switch it off. The words 'standby' and 'hibernation' are swear words as far as I'm concerned.
But this is pretty impressive to see it in action - and it's not even one of the newest Centrino setups either.
So long as I disable the bloody thing flicking the screen off within 90secs, I might just go back to the balanced settings.
