cpuspeed error on boot

[BC]

Ok most responses I see tell me to turn it off but i want to use the cpuspeed function. I have an ECS motherboard with an Athlon 1800+ that I would like to try to overclock. So that said -- I don't want to get rid of the error message I need to know how to set it up to work.

 Thanks,
 BC
