No powerNow/cpufreq for a desktop Athlon-XP ?

[Thierry Herbelot]

Hello,

I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 on an Athlon-based desktop machine. I have loaded the 
acpi and cpufreq kernel modules, but powerd does not want to start :
'powerd: lookup freq: No such file or directory'

From a little googling, it seems that cpufreq will not work on this machine as 
PowerNow is active only on mobile Athlons (see for example 
http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=357591)

Am I correct ? or is there any way to enable powernow on a desktop Athlon ?
