I have a Toshiba 2775XDVD with a 650 MHz Speedstep processor. I am able to switch CPU speeds using Fn+F-something. If your processor is a Speestep also, you will theoretically be able to switch processing speeds while the box is still running. If your processor doesn't have this feature, or your laptop doesn't have that key combination, then you (appear to be) on your own :o)
