I forget what the output from modprobe said. But I had
cpufreq.debug=7. Here are the logs:

Okay. I understand the distinction between what the processor supports
and what the motherboard exports via the ACPI tables. I do still want
to know what C states the E6600 supports. Does anyone know? Also, I've
heard the it's possible to modify the DSDT on boards to add interfaces
to processor features that the board does not provide. Of course this
is a dead end if E6600 doesn't support these low power states to begin
with. Assuming it does, does anyone know if it's possible to get them
working on the Asus P5B Deluxe?
