You'd mentioned that you have an amd64 "Just to add, architecture is
amd64.". However the Thinkpad R61i uses Intel processors only. [1]

Please do the following:

$ sudo lshw > myhardware.txt
$ gedit myhardware.txt

Now copy the info in 'myhardware.txt' and paste it in the 'Content' box
here:

Click the 'Paste!' button and post back the URL to the result - URL
*only* please.

Just a few thoughts; have you checked your bios to see if perhaps you've
somehow turned off speedstepping in bios? Is your bios up to date? [2]
Note: I'm not sure is an option in your bios for speedstep, but it's
worth checking. Are you running the laptop without a battery? Apparently
T61's will not run at full power if the battery is not in the machine. [3]

Note: you'll find your bios information in the 'myhardware.txt' file as
well as when you boot to bios.
