Quick question about cpuspeed.  I had it on as well and again it only
showed 800 like his did.  So what I want to know, is if you have a
desktop that you use for normal every day computing (web browsing,
email, update rpms and that type thing) is it worth running cpuspeed and
letting your cpu's get throttled until needed or however it works (dual
cpus btw).
