Powerd and est / eist functionality

[John Long]

   Hello, I am putting together a couple update servers. Went with c2d
   E7500 on gigabyte G41M-ES2L boards. fbsd 8.0 release generic (so far)
   amd64, 1g mem, 1tb wd cavier blk, fresh system.
   My Kill-a-watt shows 41 watts idle and when I enable powerd then it
   climbs to 43 watts idle.
   It shows that the freq is controlled well, goes down to 365 mhz but
   the tdp is not decreased, rather it increases.
   If I disable eist, c1 and c3 helpers in bios, as per suggestion in
   mail archive, then it adds 1 watt to both figures. I was hoping to get
   this total tdp down to a very low amount, and it is but it should
   theoretically go lower with powerd, right?
   The bios reports 1.268V and 26C temp. I was hoping that the voltage
   would go down to .85 or so when powerd lowered the freq to 365 etc.
   Healthd does not seem to know what monitoring chip it is and I have no
   idea unless I install xp (ugh) and run something from cpuid.com on it.
   What is a good/better/best monitoring program, mbmon and bsdhwmon are
   untried for they are not current I see. Or what do I do from here to
   fix this problem?
   thx,
   John
