No problem.  I was frustated as you some times ago.  Fingers have their
own live, typing some wordings without any more control.
That happens to everyone, to me as well.

The speedstep-smi is much more safe than the speedstep-piix4, but
unfortunately the former do not work for one or two persons, so the page
about speedstep-piix4 is still here, and I have to maintain it
somehow still.  Note that speedstep-piix4 also may not work, there
is no warranty, it work for some systems, not all.  And I don't know
why.  Only Intel can say why.

That do not mean, though, that you can not send me the output
of speedstep-detect, because this program may help you to configure
speedstep-piix4 *and* speedstep-smi...

Go on, I'm waiting your output,
