In windows: the cpu freq can be downscaled to 135Mhz, while in gentoo it can only hit 600Mhz.
Is there anyone can explain why?

ASUS M5 notebook
CPU: dothen 1.7G

Because we suck more.

In FreeBSD my Dothan 1.7GHz downscales to 75MHz, at least that's what powerd -v tells me.

In short: You can achieve the same, but anything below 600 MHz doesn't make much sense (same applies to windows btw).
