  I tried modules speedstep-smi and speedstep-ich with kernel
  2.4.22. But it does not reduce frequency so much:

# cat /proc/cpufreq
          minimum CPU frequency  -  maximum CPU frequency  -  policy
CPU  0      1200000 kHz ( 85 %)  -    1400000 kHz (100 %)  -  performance

# echo "0%50%50%powersave" > /proc/cpufreq

# cat /proc/cpufreq
          minimum CPU frequency  -  maximum CPU frequency  -  policy
CPU  0      1200000 kHz ( 85 %)  -    1200000 kHz ( 85 %)  -  powersave

  Also I tried 'cpufreq=100000-1400000' kernel option.
  What more can I do?
