Mine also reports 16 throttling states, and setting them works fine
(echo # > /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling, where # is the desired
throttling state).  I compared speeds using the distributed.net client

state. (If you've ever wanted to make your system run like a Pentium 75,
now's your chance! ... and I remember when those were damn fast)
