Thanks for clearing it out for us all, but the fact is that Pentium 4 M (not Pentium M from Centrino "toolkit") is capable of SpeedStep (Not Enhanced SpeedStep, right?). But freebsd lacks of speedstep support (AFAIK, hw.acpi.cpu_throttle_state plays only with processor C-states, which are not SpeedStep), so I'm womdering if est.ko would do something with Pentium 4 M processors. -- Anton A.
