Do Intel Core 2 Q8200 speed throttles (e.g., underclocks when idled/notheavily used)?

I'm almost certain that lower speed can be achieved
but it most likely a function of the motherboard and
bios.

One PC I have will drop it lower and overclock
the CPU when its needed automatically if enabled
in the BIOS.

You should be able to confirm this with "CPUID"
also known as CPUZ.

Ran CPU-Z and saw Clocks (Core #0)'s Core Speed: 240x MHz (low usage) vs.
280x Mhz (high usage on one CPU). Is 240x MHz the lowest it can go?
