seems to be the same

but I have better news and seems my first idea was right, the MB is it

I found a tech info on the manufactor's support site telling cpu support up=
 to=20
4600+ and found a bios for newer cpus including my 5000+

so I upgraded the bios and my CPU now works with smp + cpufreq + powerd on=
=20
both amd64 and i386

nothing wrong with freebsd and xorg neither :)

=2D-=20
