Pentium III / i815 - powersaving possible?

Hi there,
in order to get a temporary fileserver running at home, I "reactivated"
an old Pentium III on a i815-based board.
Combined with a gigabit NIC this box works perfectly as a file server,
but I wondered if there is a way to reduce the power consumption of this
box when running.
Even for earlier Intel chipsets (e.g. the 440BX) there are CPUfreq
drivers available in the kernel, but I wasn't able to find any driver
suitable for the i815.
Is there a CPUfreq driver that can save me some power on this box?
AFAIK it does not support C-states at all, so this is the only way I can
think of to save some power.
