Re: Linux 2.6.30-rc8 [also: VIA Support]

[Linus Torvalds]

Side note: is it more stable if you disable the VIA speedstep thing 
(whatever it's called (ok, google tells me it's called "TwinTurbo" and 
"Advanced PowerSaver")?

Features like that easily put a huge stress on power regulators etc, if 
they result in sudden changes in current draw.  Underspecced capacitors 
etc can cause CPU "brown-outs", which in turn can easily cause total 
failure.
