Without the motherboard hardware supporting VID changes, this tool does
nothing. This is also what the article says: "But the motherboard, too, must
fulfill requirements in handling a pseudo-mobile processor." So - with some
boards it may work, most board don't recognize (i.e. connect) the VID pins.
If somebody has a list of boards that do use the VID pins - that would be
great.
