All of the apps are supposed to automatically adjust the speed, however, the

thing I could get to happen was sometimes they would lower it when
installed. They never changed otherwise. The only way I got back to full
speed was with a reboot.
Which apps are you talking about, powernowd, powersaved, etc.? Of
course, normal apps don't directly control ACPI-related performance
(e.g. fan, CPU, battery, etc.).
Can anyone give me some hints on:
-Real-time monitoring of cpu throttling (not speed in mhz which is
apparently different)?
-Automatic adjustment of CPU speed?
-Manual adjustment of CPU speed?
-The safe temps for a Mobile AMD Athlon 2000?
Thanks!

I think the best place to ask those questions is probably on the
ACPI4Linux mailing list. Check their website for subscription info and
where to find their archives: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/
You might want to find out which ODM made your laptop, and then google
for a support forum for it. For general info, this site is helpful:

Specifically, this article:

Once you know who made the laptop, hopefully it'll become easier to
tweak Linux to a better fit. Look in /proc/acpi/ to see if there is an
entry for your laptop.
For instance, I found these two sites whose info helped convince me to
buy the laptop I did:
