CPU oddness.. /proc/cpuinfo included.
As you can see below I have a Intel Pentium 1600. If you look at the actual cpu MHZ, its only performing around 600 mhz. Can someone explain this or lead me to a possible solution? OS = Suse 9.2 Comp: Dell Latitude D600 (laptop) thanks.. ryan ----- busket:~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 9 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz stepping : 5 cpu MHz : 598.220 cache size : 1024 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 tm pbe est tm2 bogomips : 1185.79 busket:~ # -------------------------------------- Ryan McCain Northrop Grumman Corporation Linux System Administrator 3 email: Ryan.McCain@dss.state.la.us Phone: 225.219.0556 Fax: 225.219.0540 Registered Linux User #364609

try "powersave -f" and check again, if it's at full speed, then powersave is kicking in and you can safely set it back with "powersave-A". When the workload demands it, it'll dynamically switch back to full speed and back to powersave when the load falls off. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
