I found how to change the processor speed of my Eee PC 701. It is modprobe p4-clockmod. Before the change it runs at 630 MHz and after at 900 MHz and I can change the cpu frequency with the applet to any of 900, 787, 675, 562, 450, 337, 225, 112 MHz. How to make the change permanent? Or better yet, to make it vary on demand?
