I just upgraded my P120 processor (Intel AN430TX mobo) using an Evergreen Spectra 400 that has an AMD K6-2 400mhz chip on it. After the upgrade and after flashing the BIOS with the latest version, BIOS reports that it has a 300mhz chip on it. I run KDE and used the Control Center to look at the hardware information and it reports that it has a 400mhz processor (correctly identifies that it's AMD K6-2 also). How will I truly know that Linux recognizes that it's using a 400 mhz processor? Is there a software I can use to confirm this? I'm using a SuSE 6.2 installation . . .

more /proc/cpuinfo That should give you the information you need. Proc is a darned nice feature/directory when you find yourself needing to fish for system information.

cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell you what CPU you are running. This interogates the CPU registers directly (although there is some code in the kernel which seems to refer to the BIOS in the case of Athlons(???)). You can trust it. Incidentally, don't look at /proc entries with 'more' as someone suggested. Use this instead: cat /proc/<whatever> | more -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

That would have been me that suggested that. Obviously, there's some sort of problem with using the method I suggested. Could you enlighten me (and the rest of the list) what I was doing wrong? I'd love to know and I can't be the only person that was using the method I suggested. Hey, I'm not proud. :-) Argentium -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
D'you know, I can't remember! I always alias more=less, and a long time ago I had a strange problem with looking at a /proc file with more (i.e. less). Someone advised me that the dynamic nature of the files in /proc and the way less opens, closes and generally manipulates file handles didn't get on. I switched to cat'ing the file and it was 100% reliable. Perhaps the problems have been fixed now. YMMV.

Why? This seems very 'superstitious' to me. Is it bad voodoo? -- Ryan -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Not "bad voodoo", just "information overload". Christopher Reimer -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
