Well, of course. PowerNow is what is known as Cool'N'Quiet on AMD
desktops. Same technology. You'll find the machine runs quieter and cooler.

thank you yousuf! i'll try it on both
one at a time. :)
on a side note, my 2CPU mobo (a pair of AMD
Opteron 250's) has bios with an option for MPS
(Multi Processor something or other) 1.1 or 1.4
(presently set to 1.1)
a google on it didn't get me much
any clue of benefit/risk of going to 1.4?

Never heard of it until now. Try and see if you see a difference. You
can always go back (hopefully).
