While cpufreq appears to work well on my Athlon X2, it has never worked on any of my Core2Duo or Core-based Xeon servers. This is a great shame as these newer Intel chips have the capability to clock up and down very quickly and seamlessly. Who can fix the cpufreq driver? I think it simply hasn't been updated with the latest data from Intel. - Andrew
