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?
