It's been a while, but I'm not sure if I have that setting on my T61

I have in my BIOS:

Intel R Speedstep technology <enabled>
     Mode for AC <auto>
                 Battery <auto>
Adaptive Therman Management
                     AC <balanced>
                     Batt. <balanced>
CPU Power Management <auto>
PCI <auto>
PCI E <auto>
