Dual P4 Xeon, will it work?

Hi, sorry if this is a faq, I'm new to the list and being somewhat impatient I haven't gone through the whole archive yet...

I'm just wondering if a dual P4 Xeon (specifically Asus PC-DL Deluxe w/2xXeon 2.67 GHz w/HT) will work with cpufreq. My whole upgrade-scheme hinges on this being possible, since the machine is supposed to run 24/7, but not as a big heat-plant during most of these hours...

My colleague tried on an older Dell dual Xeon 1.7 GHz, kernel 2.6.0, but he didn't get it to work. Now, this could be attributable to both old and insufficient hardware, and his attempts not being sincere enough, so I don't know...

Has anyone out there actually seen it working on a dual Xeon?

thanks for any replies...

Sorry to have bothered you all, we actually got it to work on the Dell machine... :-)

Frequencies differing with a factor 4 produced execution time differences of factor 2.6, I suppose this has to do with RAM speed bottlenecks or something, our test was just to gzip a big file.

Anyway, now I know it works! Great!
