    If you are looking for software, try Notebook Hardware Control. It works well with most notebooks.

    Would you be looking for SpeedStep?

    you mean Intel's SpeedStep?

    AMD one is Cool 'N' Quiet. so that you know...

    in windows you could select the power scheme for the computer. selecting low power setting or something will decrease the computer CPU speed. while the high performance option will max the CPU speed.

    edit: dam! beaten while typing. :p
