Hello, I have a Sony Vaio F212K. My BIOS has an option to reduce CPU speed if the computer is idle. I want to try the option to see if it works with linux and to save some battery power. Does anyone know a programm to measure the cpu speed or even better the clockrate? The KDE control center shows the CPU speed but it always showed me a rate of 172 MHz (the computer has a 650 MHz CPU) when I turned the reduce CPU speed option in the Bios on. But I am not really sure if it really measures the CPU speed dynamically because I tryed to watch some divx movies and play quake2 and it actually worked and I dont think 172 MHz are enough for that:-) Any tips are really appretiated.
Greetings, Michael
