Thanks to all of you for helping me. I can successfully emerge X & KDE using an SMP kernel and hard setting the CPU frequency. However, using an SMP kernel 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' nor 'x86info -mhz' seem to show the new cpu frequency. I do have two more questions:
1. Using a Uni-processor kernel it appears I do not have to decrease my cpu frequency to emerge large products or compiles. Will I loose a great deal of performance using it since I really only have one cpu (even though It has HT technology)? 2. Will 'speedfreq' work with SMP kernels?
