+ Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of CPUs on the
+ fly. This is a nice method to save battery power on notebooks,
+ because the lower the clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.

- help
- This adds the clock modulation 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.
