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 . . .
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/
