*Why Doesn't Windows Do That?*

Modern operating systems like Linux execute the HLT instruction in an
idle priority thread. This thread is always executed when the CPU is
otherwise idle. No additional execution time for HLTing is needed, the
CPU will not run slower.

While other operating systems like Linux always used this mechanism,
Windows only learned it with NT. But even with NT and following versions
it is only enabled when the BIOS and ACPI implementation is recognized
by the OS.

w tabeli kompatybilnosci z chipsetami i prockami nie ma explicite wpisu 
nForce2 ultra 400. jest nForce2, ale przy nim jest wersja 6.0b a nie 
Extreme, ktora jest mozliwa do sciagniecia jako trial (legendy do tabeli 
nie potrafie znalezc)
