seems to be the same

but I have better news and seems my first idea was right, the MB is it

I found a tech info on the manufactor's support site telling cpu support up to 
4600+ and found a bios for newer cpus including my 5000+

so I upgraded the bios and my CPU now works with smp + cpufreq + powerd on 
both amd64 and i386

nothing wrong with freebsd and xorg neither :)
