I've got a MacBook with a Core 2 Duo CPU. I've got CoreDuoTemp installed which can show the current speed of the CPU. It appears to always show:
Mini : 1.0 GHz Maxi : 2.0 GHz Current : 2.0 GHz
I believe my laptop would run longer on battery if it were to run at a maximum of 1 GHz. Is there a way to configure this, or is the CPU speed adjustment completely automatic?

But I'm not sure it will have the desired effect.
