You're right, of course. :-)
I found a Pentium 4 with 400 Mhz FSB, it looks much better now:
FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #6: Sun Oct 11 11:14:33 CEST 2009
root@kg-work2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SX270
Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz (1992.63-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0xf27 Stepping = 7

Features2=0x4400<CNXT-ID,xTPR>
real memory = 2145849344 (2046 MB)
and FreeBSD 8.0 doesn't say anything about "non-unform cpu" anymore. ;^)
