Hi,

Now that suspend to ram is functioning flawlessly (and I do mean flawlessly - thanks good friends @ acpi-devel!), I'm looking, no hunting, for information regarding cpu throttling under FC4/Linux. My system, a 1.6GHz Pentium-M scales down, under FC4, to 600MHz. My question or curiosity surrounds the fact that under windows, the cpu speed can drop much lower than 600Mhz. Is this a limitation of current software packages (or their states of development) or am I missing some configuration information to take advantage of even lower power consumption.
You can lower the CPU frequency even below 600Mhz using throttling in addition to CPU frequency scaling; however this won't give you any energy saving at all in very most cases, but actually might even increase battery usage, so I'd suggest not using it.
