BIOS Updates forum

Did it all.

On debian you install microcode package and it adds a daemon in etc/init.d/ to perform microcode update every boot.

Speedstep technology is being utilized via acpi-cpufreq module in Linux (think of it as driver for dynamic freq). However, since CPU is not correctly re...
