PowerNow!
AMD PowerNow! is AMD's dynamic frequency scaling and power saving technology for laptop processors. The CPU's clock speed and VCore are automatically decreased when the computer is under low load or idle, to save battery power, reduce heat and noise. The lifetime of the CPU is also extended because of reduced electromigration, which varies exponentially with temperature.
The technology is a concept similar to Intel's SpeedStep technology. The adaptation of PowerNow! for AMD's desktop CPUs is called Cool'n'Quiet. Newer Opterons also use an adaptation of PowerNow! called Optimized Power Management.

If All The Raindrops
by: Barney'Barney]
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops
Oh what a rain that will be
Standing outside with my mouth opened wide
[all]
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops
Oh what a rain that will be
If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh what a snow that will be
Standing outside with my mouth opened wide
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh what a snow that will be
If all the sun beamss were bubble gum and ice cream
Oh what a sun that will be
Standing outside with my mouth opened wide
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
If all the sun things were bubble gum and ice cream
Oh what a sun that will be.
