After looking more your report, I have a theory: I think that
originaly the OEM do have designed the board in order to ship an
AthlonXP-M model 8.  After that, they used an AthlonXP-M model 10
instead, but "forgot" to update the Performance State Block in order to
get the correct number of Performance State Tables that the BIOS
contains.

I will see how to handle that.
