Fyo,

As I wrote originally, I recall reading that the first version of PowerNow! used only 6 states, but that the new version would support up to 32.

I guess it would be a good idea to define what these states are. My guess is that these are not states but "programs" specifying CPU behaviour. If Andreas is right about the granularity of the CPU changes to be down to 1 MHz, there are far more states. If you add to it the changes of voltages, you have even more states.

IMO the changes of just the multiplier would be good enough. Isn't changing FSB also messing with PCI and AGP cards?
