  • SpeedStep on piix4 (How to make SpeedStep (cpufreq) work on Coppermine-piix4-smi based Thinkpads)
  • SpeedStep on P4-class Celeron (How to get SpeedStep working on P4-class-Celeron based Thinkpads)
  • cpufreqd (How to configure the cpufreqd SpeedStep daemon)
  • powersaved (How to configure the cpufreqd SpeedStep daemon)
  • Don't forget that the newer kernels have fancier cpu frequency governors like OnDemand and Conservative that are easy to configure via SysFS. These governors are adequate in many situations and do not require user-space daemons such as cpufreqd, powersaved, or powernowd. (Somebody should probably detail this in a separate page)
