Explain a bit more about your question, I'm not quite sure what you are trying to ask.

Thanks, I just updated the link.
You have to use the Intel version, get it directly from this page: http://www.macdotnub.info/downloads.php

I'm also uploading it on Rapidshare, just few minutes...

Please notice that this guide describes Power Management for laptops. While some sections might also suite for servers, others do not and may even cause harm. Please do not apply anything from this guide to a server unless you really know what you are doing.

As this guide has become rather long, here's a short overview helping you to find your way through it.

The Prerequisites chapter talks about some requirements that should be met before any of the following device individual sections will work. This includes BIOS settings, kernel configuration and some simplifications in user land. The following three chapters focus on devices that typically consume most energy - processor, display and hard drive. Each can be configured seperately. CPU Power Management shows how to adjust the processor's frequency to save a maximum of energy without losing too much performance. A few different tricks prevent your hard drive from working unnecessarily often in Disk Power Management (decreasing noise level as a nice side effect). Some notes on graphics cards, Wireless LAN and USB finish the device section in Power Management For Other Devices while another chapter is dedicated to the (rather experimental) sleep states. Last not least Troubleshooting lists common pitfalls.
