4 yes, i do. although frequency scaling is claimed to be not supported on my
5 model (tibook II 550, aka powerbook3,3 IIRC), i am now able to limit the
6 frequency to 500 Mhz but with no effect whatsoever. but i'm sure that
7 macos isn't able to any kind of frequency scaling on this actual model,
8 so this can't be it.
