Javier,
I wouldn't say I "prefer" powernowd, per se, but I know that powernowd is made for AMD, whereas cpudynd is more generic (afaik). That being said, I use cpudynd in my thinkpad (X40) and it works very well.
YMMV, Zaq

Hi guys,
is there any reason why you prefer powernowd to cpudyn? I was wondering because I'm using the later on my notebook. I barely use it on batteries, but I like the noise reduction that comes with the reduced speed.

Aha! You're right.
Works like a charm here as well. Thank you Thomas!

Actually, no mistake at all. I have an AMD64 and run powernowd to have cpu-scaling (as provided by the CnQ-feature in the cpu).
I got it to run on a Debian kernel-image after I put powernowd-k8 and cpufreq-userspace in /etc/modules. It was apparently necessary to have these loaded forcedly to get the powernowd daemon to run.
regards, Thomas
