I have the same problem, cpuinfo shows the wrong value!!!
I get 1200MHz even I set it up to 1800MHz.
(posted prog calculates the right value, (procspeed))

My values:

cat scaling_setspeed
1800000

procspeed
1795.069753 MHz processor.

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cpu MHz : 1196.427

# HERE I SET NEW SPEED!
echo 1200000 >scaling_setspeed

procspeed
1196.468220 MHz processor.

# THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG!
cat /proc/cpuinfo
cpu MHz : 797.618

cat scaling_setspeed
1200000

It seems as if cpuinfo shows the wrong value by the factor 1.5.
(min_freq: 1200, max_freq: 1800)

kernel: 2.6.0test-11-1

I post a small prog you can mesure your real speed.
It's called procspeed(think it was part of Carl Thomson's cpufreqd).

I searched for cpuinfo in the archive, but could not find anything.
I expect that problem related to freq scaling ...

Does anyone know about this?

Maybe this helps, complete cpuinfo:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 2
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Mobile CPU 1.80GHz

coma_bug : no

fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
