Unfortunately my Mobo's BIOS is already up-to-date, the > CPU is officially supported and Cool'n'Quiet works dandy in Windows XP I had a chance to test several MBs with the same 6000+, 5000+ and 4600+ cpu At the end seems that the problem is mb/hardware related since some=20 combinations hung even with latest BIOS installed and others not. I tested newer MATX MBs and the only one which seems to run stable for long= =20 time is the Gigabyte MCP61 chipset. All others are freezing sooner or later= =20 with Athlon 5000 or faster CPUs.=20 The problem is less with the 4600 CPU almost all boards are fine and with 4= 200=20 CPU no problem at all. The MBs with sis vga onboard are appearently unusable with the higher freq= =20 CPUs. ATI and NVidia are ok.=20 Xorg appearently do not like HPET enabled because it freezes then with all= =20 this boards I tested. Anyway, funny is that Fedora 7 which I have on the same HD is not freezing = =20 (same xorg+kde version) what makes me guess that eventual there is some=20 problem with freebsd's acpi understanding the acpi tables when using this=20 high freq amd processors. Only to remember the problem only ocurres when loading powerd and seems the= =20 freeze happens when cpu freq is upshifting not down. Not sure if it is worth looking deeper into this on 6 and soon I have some= =20 time I will check current first=20 =2D-=20 Jo=E3o A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
