I should like to get Cool 'n' Quiet to work with Bianca. I have a couple of computers with AMD Sempron 2.8 64 bit cpus fitted.

Any advice/help greatly appreciated.

Have you got powernowd installed, (in Synaptic)
It installed by default on my AMD 3.4 processor sits at 1ghz
while surfing etc, and speed increases when required

Also try powersaved

Thanks for that nick.

I do have powernowd installed, but my overclocked Sempron sticks at 1.92 Mhz.

What do yuo use to monitor the cpu speed?

Thanks again.

Hi
I am KDE user and use Kinfocentre, not
sure of equivalant in Gnome, although
I have been using Linux for 10 years I
have hardly ever used Gnome
There is a nice little tool Kpowersave which allows you to select processor
speed from toolbar, again KDE

Thanks guys for all the help.
The panel applet says my cpu does not support frequency scaling. The desklets indicate my cpu is still stuck at 1.92 Mhz no matter how little load I place on it. So powernow does not seem to be working.
Unfortunately conky does not indicate cpu frequency as I downloaded it. I will have to read up on the online manual to see how to set it up the way that I want it.

Thanks again for all your suggestions.
