Does this happen irrespective of whether you are plugged in to A/C power at the time? Most laptops will go to lower speeds on battery (depending on your setup in BIOS), and even if you plug in the power later, /proc/cpuinfo is not updated. So please make sure you boot up with A/C power and let us know if you see the same thing. Thanks, Rahul -- Rahul Karnik rahul@genebrew.com http://www.genebrew.com/
