Hi eyeris10,
I am NOT using NullCPUmanagement.kext on either system - have never touched it (I have 2 separate drives installed). What kind of speeds are you getting? I've never bothered with overclocking as I feel my CPUs run a little warm.
Oh...and the machine sleeps and wakes with no problems and running 64 bit on both.

Thanks for your reply !
I have never used it before (NullCPUPowermanagement.kext) but I noticed that my system wasn't as fast as it was suppose to be. With no overclocking except the fact that I adjusted the memory to 1600mhz, I could only achieve a geekbench score of 5300 since I upgraded to Lion. (I had never done a geekbench test before so I got no proof that it might have been that way also on SL.
Somebody on this forum suggested that I add this kext because apparently bad power management could result in very low performance. I added it and miraculously the geekbench score went way up to a bit over 10 000 on 64bit. But as I said, sleep won't work anymore.
I am on a x58a-ud3r rev 2.0, i7 950 3.20, got 6gb of Corsair 1600mhz RAM and a XFX Radeon 5870 1gb DDR5 with Eyefinity. Everything was working perfectly except that it seemed slow for the power of the specs of this machine. That is why I tried to do the benchmark and got really disappointed with such a low score.
I would really be happy to find a solution that wouldn't involve to break sleep fonction on my system but still get better results than 5300... Maybe I should try to do a clean install of Lion... This is the only solution I can think of, but I would rather find something less time-consuming.
Thanks again
