I am just running the 32 bit version now until which time I can download the 64 bit. I need a bigger pipe....
I just wanted to see what the machine would do while I waited... :)

Must be a chipset or turion difference then. I get the following. But from other emails I see you have found an answer to your question.
$ dmesg |grep powernow powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.50.4) powernow-k8: 0 : fid 0xe (2200 MHz), vid 0x6 (1400 mV) powernow-k8: 1 : fid 0xc (2000 MHz), vid 0xa (1300 mV) powernow-k8: 2 : fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0xe (1200 mV) powernow-k8: 3 : fid 0x8 (1600 MHz), vid 0x12 (1100 mV) powernow-k8: 4 : fid 0x0 (800 MHz), vid 0x18 (950 mV)
