You can; for most, it works well. (I've only heard from one for whom
*over*clocking failed.)

eeepc-acpi-scripts has code to do this. Since 1.1.3, it'll default to
"automatic" at boot (if previously unconfigured); 1.1.6 and later allow user
of the S.H.E. control key (either Fn-Space or a separate button).

You can force default settings by deleting /var/lib/eeepc-acpi-scripts/cpufv.

If I save time, when do I get to spend it?
