RE: <I was simply trying to point out that a notebook running PowerNow! isn't limited to a lower operating frequency when running off the battery (compared to when running off the mains). (This in contrast to SpeedStep, where such a limitation is in place).>

Let me clarify your SpeedStep statement, which I think I misinterpreted at first. My PIII notebook with SpeedStep can run at full speed on batteries if I choose to run it that way. However, you are correct in that when SpeedStep is enabled and running in battery-saving-mode (or whatever it's called), then the processor is slowed down while on batteries.
