It means that you have a Pentium 4 that has the cabability to slow
itself down when it gets too hot.  Hopefully you've got a decent fan on
it, though, and it won't ever actually get hot enough to matter.

I'm not sure if 25% means that it gets throttled back by 25% or if it
gets throttled down to 25% of maximum.

noah
