Overclocking a Conroe and Using Speedstep/cpufreq.
Word up.
When I dont overclock my cpu (2.4 ghz) cpufreq works fine (with the ondemand governor) but when I overclock the cpu to 3.0 ghz in the bios, cpu freq doesnt work. They neccessary sys files arent in /sys/devices/system/cpu0/ etc etc. I had orginally been using the acpi cpu freq driver, but the "Enhanced Speedstep" inst working either (gonna try it without an option, but I doubt itll work)
Does anybody know anything about this? Ive been told it works in windows.
slackware 11 with kernel 2.6.21-ck2/conroe e6600(2.4 default)/ evga 680i motherboard
Thanks homies.

Your BIOS only knows about speeds the chip is rated for.
