Hello, I just tried to get some tool monitoring the actual CPU speed. SuSE 12.1, 64Bit has "cpupower" on the DVD. cpupower frequency-info analyzing CPU 0: driver: acpi-cpufreq CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1 2 3 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 maximum transition latency: 10.0 us. hardware limits: 1.60 GHz - 3.30 GHz available frequency steps: 3.30 GHz, 3.30 GHz, 3.20 GHz, 3.10 GHz, 2.90 GHz, 2.80 GHz, 2.70 GHz, 2.60 GHz, 2.40 GHz, 2.30 GHz, 2.20 GHz, 2.10 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.80 GHz, 1.70 GHz, 1.60 GHz available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance current policy: frequency should be within 1.60 GHz and 3.30 GHz. The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 1.60 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). boost state support: Supported: no Active: no So current CPU frequency is 1.60 GHz and that is ok. When doing intensive work it goes up to 3.3GHz which is expected. But what does " boost state support: Supported: no Active: no" mean? Can I turn this on under SuSE? Processor is a Intel 2500K. Is there some graphical tool to monitor the CPU speed? Thanks in advance Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
