Controlling processor clock speed in Windows 7

Greetings

My PC is in my signature. What I'm trying to do is have one power setting that keeps my processor clocked at 3.4Ghz even when completely idle, while also being able to pick another power setting that would have my processor would clock down when idle.

I'm not able to have it both ways as far as I can tell. I can set my processor in the bios to never clock down, or I can set it to allow itself to clock down when idle. If I set the latter, there seems to be no way to control when that occurs with the built in Windows power management features. There is a minimum and maximum processor state setting, but even if I set them both at 100%, the processor will still clock itself down.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
I use RMClock for my netbook in Win7 x64. You can set up profiles to use different P states.
You'll need to find the x64 signed driver though.
