hmm, with the speedstep driver for pentium 4 (?) it goes down as low as
186Mhz, where it is really feelable slow. but the cooler is still on
from time to time there when idle.

also runtime doesn't increase much in that case.

i also heard that the frequency under windows is far away from beeing
exact.
