Steve,
Menu - utility - cpu scaling - choose a module - click activate (until you get a success message pop up) - read the success message - see lowest and highest frequencies values - put the lowest in min box, you may want to put the highest or second highest in max box, click activate - a success message will pop up. You're done.
If you want to monitor cpu temperature - search for pwidgets or conky in the forum
Thanks, btw you have dual core?
Aragon,
This is exactly what I meant about newbies, I just want to help them out. They are eager to try things out, but not yet too expert in comand line.

Now I can confirm (since nobody is reporting) that on DUAL CORE also works

Is there a way of checking what speed the cpu is running at or perhaps its current scaling factor.....cat /proc/blah sort of thing?

Thanks...nothing there but found governor as 'ladder' and driver as 'acpi_idle'.
Its a HP2133 VIA C7-M cpu and althogh I cannot see any related module I suspect that it already has some form of cpu scaling...or is something like 'ondemand' needed to activate it?
regards
mike

Mikeb,
I think it's not activated. Did you try the app? I don't think so.
Anyway, my old ibm 570e doesn't have a module that's compatible with it, BUT, after scrolling through BIOS, I found that it can be set from BIOS. Some computers maybe like that.

I believe this note here may be of some help. The required module is available on retro and std kernel.

Sorry for not replying earlier..I re-read the manual approach thread and pennies dropped...e_powersaver and ondemand loaded and all works as it should ..guess i like to get dirty hands.
Are those processors really running at 844mV ?!!
I also have the fan set at 40% min in the bios as it tends to be a bit of a hot potato which is quiet but reduces the need for 100% fan speed.
Cheers all
mike

Just Installed your Programm in the new 4.3 Release.
The installation proccess was bugfree.
The Programm seem also to work good but i miss the needed Modules
in the new Release for CPU Scalling.
The Possibility to download and install the needed CPU Scalling Modules for the Kernel over the Internet would make this Programm Perfect !

?????
everything needed is there by default, what do you want to install? what you need to do is find out, which cpu-driver you need.
this thread might be of help http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28443

@ ARAN
all i can do is apologize!
i've by mistake loaded 4.3 Beta 3 and they are all there. now that i look at 4.3-small in quemu, what should i say, can't find the modules any more, you're right.
maybe someone else should look at this, but seems to be a big bug.
so, again sorry.
aragon

now i'm a little wiser.
this is a problem for pup-430-small.iso. the regular one pup-430.iso does contain the modules in the zp430305.sfs. i don't know if it's a bug or by design but i will post it in the bugs-section.

Hello aragon.
It would be great if somebody could try to boot the official ISO full in to ram and proove if the modules were loaded and copied.
If i remeber right even in the official ISO from ibiblio the modules arent loaded and copied. at least the directory "/lib/modules/..." was empty.
Still thanks a lot for your answer.
It helped me a lot as it prooved that i in my puppy the modules were missed.
Ther is also a bug for some reason in the gui cpu freq scalling tool.
I have only performance at the moment working.
Other people too.
