CpuIdle Features

keeps CPU cool
enhance system stability
convenient user interface (multilingual)
display CPU idle and cooling times
integration with MotherBoard Monitor:
- enables CpuIdle to read MBM temperature sensors
- take action on critical temperatures (increase cooling, shutdown system)
generic support for all CPUs and chipsets
support for all current CPU types (see list of supported CPUs)
special chipset optimization support (see list of supported chipsets)
support for multiprocessor systems
future upgrades are included

Chipset	VIA KT600 (CpuIdle Extreme) VIA KM400 (CpuIdle 6.0a) VIA KT400 (CpuIdle 6) VIA KT333 VIA KT266, KT266A VIA KT133, KT133A VIA KX, KX133 VIA KM266 (CpuIdle Extreme 7.0b) VIA KN266 (CpuIdle Extreme 7.0b) VIA PN266 (CpuIdle Extreme 7.0b)	AMD 760 AMD 760MP	SiS 730 (CpuIdle Extreme) SiS 733 (CpuIdle Extreme) SiS 735 SiS 740 (CpuIdle 6.0a) SiS 745 SiS 746 (CpuIdle Extreme) SiS 748 (CpuIdle Extreme) SiS 755 (CpuIdle Extreme)	nForce2 (CpuIdle 6.0b) nForce (CpuIdle 6)

Even if your CPU is not mentioned in this list, or not recognized by CpuIdle, it will still be supported out of the box. CpuIdle will issue the HLT statement to shutdown the CPU regardless if the CPU could be identified or not.
Also chipset optimization will be performed on the chipset detected, regardless of CPU type.
