Can you be more specific? Tell us the output of the following:

$ cpufreq-info

$ grep CONFIG_CPU_FREQ /boot/config-`uname -r`

$ dmesg | grep powernow-k8

That last one might not work if your machine has been running a while. Try:
# cd /var/log ; (cat messages messages.0 ; cat messages.*.gz | zcat) | \
grep powernow-k8 | tail -n 20
