I have a desktop Duron that I've closed off the L5 mobile bridge on, and unlocked two L6 bridges so I can set the SoftFID back up to at least startup value. My intent is actually to underclock the CPU to reduce power/heat. I've tested the changes with Windows and CPUMSR, and it works really well, aside from my inability to change the SoftVID due to lack of motherboard support. Oh, I'm using a regular desktop motherboard. Anyways, now I'd like to attempt the same thing with Linux. I'm sure my configuration is going to be completely unrecognized, and even if it was, I'm not so sure any PST's would come up. So I guess I'm going to have to add it in myself. I saw a patch fly by a short while ago where a user added some settings for an unrecognized config. Is this the only way to hack in a PST?
