>I am still not convinced about AMD's plan to limit PowerNow to the mobile processors. Given current electrical supply concerns wouldn't it be nice to have the option to expand the savings on desktop machines when they are in use?<

I believe that the removal of PowerNow! from the desktop processor was as much to decrease the die size as to limit the potential of using a desktop processor in notebooks. I expect the desktop variant of Thoroughbred to have PowerNow!2.
