does cool quiet amd work vista beta 2

Cool'n'Quiet is not O.S. dependent. It is a combination of settings in your BIOS and the appropriate CPU driver.
If you want to find out how it works, read you owners manual.

Maybe the question should have been....Are there any Vista capable AMD drivers out there ...the ones on the AMD website will not install give the message they are for XP/2000 only?? The reason I am asking is because I have a device that has no drivers and each time Vista starts it looks for drivers....its labelled as an unknown device nd I have no idea what it is. peter

If you look in the Device Manager for Processors your CPU should be listed there. If it is, look at the Properties, then Driver Details. If there is a files named AmdK8.sys then you have the AMD driver that support the Cool'n'Quiet feature. It's in both my x86 and x64 installations of Vista and the Cool'n'Quiet is functioning in both versions.

Check the device's properties/details tab in Device Manager for info about the device and post back. Start with the device ID. Don't be surprised if it turns out to be the game port on an audio card. Some beta drivers for Vista do not enable all functions of the devices they support.
