[Vincent Trouilliez]

Found this 'info' file in /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0 :

processor id:            0
acpi id:                 0

no power management and no throttling control....doesn't sound good does
it ?? :o(

Is there a way to know what CPU supports power/frequency management ?
I may change my motherboard sometime next year (for cheap used one off
of Ebay ie), so I would rather try and get suitable CPU's, unless only
the very latest and expensive CPU's support it of course, in which case
I will wait until they become dirty cheap on the second hand market.
