I have some oldish Dell PE750 1u units I'm starting to use with Debian Lenny. Some will be mostly idle (for CPU but probably not disk), and I'd like to throttle the CPU down if possible. I've been goofing around with cpudyn, cpufreqd and powernowd but can't get any to work. I suspect I may be SoL, since the cpuinfo lacks any mention of "current_ frequency". Can anyone confirm or deny? Any other ideas? # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 3 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 4 cpu MHz : 2800.234 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 5 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe constant_tsc pebs bts pni monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr bogomips : 5605.79 clflush size : 64 power management: ----- end ----- Any other suggestions for keeping power use and heat down using these PE750s?
