My chip is clocked at 120 ( I am leary of overclocking). set6x86 enables the cpu halt command, which lowers power usage on the cpu to 10% when the cpu is idle (most are idle about 70-90% of the time ). I can touch both my motherboard sink and cpu heatsink. Very noticeable difference. I tried to add the cyrix patch but it did not agree with my kernel. I am running 2.0.29. I do not know enough kernel internals to add a patch by hand.
