Since this box is mostly idle I am considering doing the old Athlon bridge hack, to turn the cpu into an Athlon XP-M, thinking I could be using cpufreq then, in order dynamically scale it's frequency. I wonder though if it would suffice to turn the cpu into a 'mobile', or if it would require to have a different chipset on the motherboard as well. Any chance cpufreq will work after modding the CPU on this motherboard, or would it be useless? Thanks, Arjan
