powernow modules?

my question isn't exactly on getting powernow to work or how to set it up or fix it. its more towards the hardware itself.

i'm getting a phenom X4, my first new piece of hardware in a loooong time. i've been using powernow on my athlon x2 so i don't have any problem setting that up.

my question is, i'm getting a black edition, i'm wondering, if i only OC with the multiplier, is it possibly to get powernow to work with an OC like that. say stock speed is 3.2 and i up it to 3.4, powernow only work in multiplier increments right? so would it work that way? or am i dreaming?

I think OC'ing usually means you don't get to use the Cool 'n' Quiet function, since it's set to predefined frequencies (800 Mhz, 1000 Mhz, 1600 Mhz, etc.).

hmm, answers seem kind of back and forth. i found a thread at anandtech that suggests the phenoms can, depending on the motherboard. someone said it worked with an asus m3a78-t, but not with a gigabyte board. im getting the asus m4a79-t

so i don't know. guess i'll have to try it when the new hardware comes in i guess
