Can anybody run Voodoopower.kext in 64-bit? It only works in 32-bit which I think is normal. But I want to run in full 64-bit and at the same time save power.

Is there any other way to run Speedstep buy not using Voodoopower? Or maybe anybody has a 64-bit version or a work around to make Voodoopower work.

Thank you.

UPDATE:

I found the answer to my question but I'm not 100% sure it works. It looks like it works though.

I just went ahead and read this thread:

Scroll down at the 1st post you will see the link for CPUi.

I DID NOT follow any DSDT/SSDT modification with regards to CPU speedstep. I just installed the CPUi app and that is it. I just made sure that Voodoopower.kext is not available in /E/E or /S/L/E.

The reason why I'm not sure it's 100% is because of the program that netkas made, cpu-x, doesn't recognize the speed change. But the CPUi app itself does. I don't know where cpu-x fetches the info, but with Voodoopower.kext + cpu-x, cpu speed changes are recognized, but 32-bit only.

The CPUi works in both 32 and 64bit. - SLEEP works, but it is harder to wake up - more keys needs to be pressed. AUTOSLEEP does not work.

UPDATE: It was not hard to wake up from sleep. I just thought it was. Sorry.
