No, I mean if a certain keyboard combination resets the BIOS values to a default, then it can check the CPU-ID, and according to this it can automatically put the clock speed to the appropriate value. (I'm not sure wether you need the processor to enter the BIOS. This certainly can cause serious trouble!) Raf.
