--bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline [Reply-To set to freebsd-hardware@ - please send answers to that list only.] Hi, I'm currently thinking about replacing the Athlon 900 in my desktop machine with a more recent CPU, and I'd be interested in getting one of these Athlon XP-M "Low Power" CPUs. I think the mainboard - a MSI KT4AV-L (MS-6712) with VIA's KT400A chipset - supports those CPUs, but I'm not sure if I would be able to use their energy saving features with FreeBSD. I know about the powernow_k7 module [1], but not enough to say if it should work in this case or if there could be problems with desktop mainboards. Are there any catches one should be aware of when trying to do this?
