Hmm.. But what it really does, then? I used it one one machine which had a flaky CPU cooler, to reduce power consumption during hot summer days. It worked, and reportedly the frequency varied from 200MHz to the max of 2.4GHz (it's a P4 Xeon). Now I wonder why it helped to reduce the temperature and why the system reported different frequencies...
