I'm going to be running XP Pro 64 and I'm building a machine that will be primarily a home studio machine, meaning passively cooled GPU, big fans at low settings, quiet HDDs and PSU, etc.
I'm also going to be gaming a bit. I'll want the fans cranked during those times, and I think I might underclock the GPU for home studio use. Is this something that can be managed using XP's hardware profile feature? I ask because it looks like separate hardware profiles depend mostly on booting into the desired profile and making changes in the Device Manager, and I don't know that stuff like GPU clocking and fan speed can be managed through the device manager.
