There a patch by Harald Milz somewhere in the mailing list which you
can apply to manually specify a PST entry. It still needs a little
extra modification if your bios is COMPLETELY lacking in any support.
As far as voltage changes, you probably won't be able to change
voltage on the fly because this requires a little extra circuitry on
the motherboard. Also, you have to be careful about the startup
voltage because the VID values between desktop and mobile CPU's do not
mean the same thing. For example, the VID code for a mobile athlon
for 1.45V is 01011. But on a desktop VRM, 01011 will produce 1.575V.
