BTW, are you using CPU frequency scaling? While playing with my P4's CPU frequency scaling, lowering the CPU frequency below a threshold frequency value (below 1.4GHz approx.), the system starts acting erratically: the keyboard generates event at twice or three times the normal speed iiitttsss nnneeeaaarrrlllyyy iiimmmpppooosssiiibbbllleee to type anything. The system clock starts skewing at a really fast pace and the mouse is unusable. The only solution is returning the CPU frequency to a higher value.
