My problem is that I am one of those energy sensitive persons that can't use cell phones.
I have a brand new system sitting there that I can't use. Together with a nice 23 inch display.


I am forced to work on a G4 laptop that can't use the new display.

I am reasonably sure that if I can lower the clock the problem will go away.
Since the source isn't there, I can't fix it myself.

As already mentioned, there's CHUD (part of an Xcode installation) to disable cores and the energy saving preference panel to broadly lower the processor's speed.


If all that doesn't work out, you might want to use the tools the processor and graphics card (another high performance chip in most Mac models) vendors offer to switch these frequencies. Usually available for the Windows OS only, more info on any of the overclocking sites.

I dunno wether changed frequencies stick across reboots, but at least you'd find out wether your headache goes/stays away.
