New Utility for Aspire One

Yesterday I installed a new control utility for my Aspire One:  a1ctl.  It is similar to AA1FanControl in that it allows you to control the fan on your netbook, but it also provides additional functionality.  For power savings, the software has the ability to  step the CPU back to 800 Mhz or you can disable the LAN, Wifi, and webcam separately.  It also allows you to downscale the screen so that you can run a 1024 x 768 resolution (I’m hoping I can run Rise of Nations now).  I’ll give a more complete review of the software after I have been using it a few days.

    links from TechnoratiAspire One any longer to test it with, but fear not: Brian Jarvis of UMPC Geek says that he will be covering the software after he uses it for a few days (though that few days might be a while longer now if Brian fried his Aspire One). a1ctl website [UMPC Geek]
