Hi there!
Since a few days I've got a new AMD Athlon 64 3200+ System and I have installed SuSE 9.1. Nearly everthing works perfect, but the system runs only with 800 MHz (!?!?) CPU clockrate. I've tested all three possibilities in the BIOS (Silent/Auto/max.Performance?), but it's always the same: hwinfo --cpu shows only 800 MHZ
That's just fine. The system has nothing to do - and is so bored that it sleeps ;-). The AMD64 cpus are capable of dynamic power scaling and we use powersaved to change this.
Run powersave -f (as root) to get an always faster system - or do something cpu bound and your cpu will be fast directly...
Note that jobs that are niced are not taken into account for the load calculation (yes, this will be changed),

OK, now I understand, that's just boosted my laptop from 800 Mhz to 1800 Mhz, now I can turn the wick down again. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.
