Now, back to our regular programming of heavy-duty technical information:

Able to use the p4-clockmod cpufreq driver, but it doesn't seem to do much.
When the frequency is at 167Mhz, the bogomips is still 2600. :-|

Seems like no matter what the cpu is set to, it consumes 27 watts of power, and that is with a USB flash drive. Not bad, not great.
