If in doubt, say N. config X86_SPEEDSTEP_SMI tristate "Intel SpeedStep on 440BX/ZX/MX chipsets (SMI interface)" select CPU_FREQ_TABLE depends on X86_32 && EXPERIMENTAL help This adds the CPUFreq driver for certain mobile Intel Pentium III (Coppermine), all mobile Intel Pentium III-M (Tualatin) on systems which have an Intel 440BX/ZX/MX southbridge. For details, take a look at . If in doubt, say N. config X86_P4_CLOCKMOD tristate "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation" select CPU_FREQ_TABLE help This adds the CPUFreq driver for Intel Pentium 4 / XEON processors. When enabled it will lower CPU temperature by skipping clocks. This driver should be only used in exceptional circumstances when very low power is needed because it causes severe slowdowns and noticeable latencies. Normally Speedstep should be used instead. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called p4-clockmod. For details, take a look at . Unless you are absolutely sure say N. config X86_CPUFREQ_NFORCE2 tristate "nVidia nForce2 FSB changing" depends on X86_32 && EXPERIMENTAL help This adds the CPUFreq driver for FSB changing on nVidia nForce2 platforms.

For details, take a look at . If in doubt, say N. config X86_E_POWERSAVER tristate "VIA C7 Enhanced PowerSaver (DANGEROUS)" select CPU_FREQ_TABLE depends on X86_32 && EXPERIMENTAL help This adds the CPUFreq driver for VIA C7 processors. However, this driver does not have any safeguards to prevent operating the CPU out of spec and is thus considered dangerous. Please use the regular ACPI cpufreq driver, enabled by CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ. If in doubt, say N. comment "shared options" config X86_SPEEDSTEP_LIB tristate default (X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH || X86_SPEEDSTEP_SMI || X86_P4_CLOCKMOD) config X86_SPEEDSTEP_RELAXED_CAP_CHECK bool "Relaxed speedstep capability checks" depends on X86_32 && (X86_SPEEDSTEP_SMI || X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH) help Don't perform all checks for a speedstep capable system which would normally be done. Some ancient or strange systems, though speedstep capable, don't always indicate that they are speedstep capable. This option lets the probing code bypass some of those checks if the parameter "relaxed_check=1" is passed to the module.
