This is from my Thinkpad X21 P3/700.  The A22p I left at work today:
state count:             8
active state:            T0
state available: T0 to T7
states:
   *T0:                  100%
    T1:                  87%
    T2:                  75%
    T3:                  62%
    T4:                  50%
    T5:                  37%
    T6:                  25%
    T7:                  12%
So, I'm assuming that since it is showing 8 states, then it has more
throttling available than what the speedstep design suggested.  My
understanding was that on this machine only had 2 states, 700Mhz and
500Mhz.  I guess that was incorrect.
I guess my next question is back to my original.  Is there any way to
change the state manually with these chips?  Thanx
Yes,

	But damnit, I can't remember how at the moment. I used to do it all the time
with my old Toshiba laptop to shut the fan up. I think I was using cpufreqd.
Here is a post that will give you the basics. You may need to search for
Pentium 3 in particular to get the detail.

google: "opensuse frequency scaling pentium" and you should get what you need.
