Since two weeks I have Debian 3.0 with kernel 2.6.7 on my Asus M6726NW
laptop. My question is what does this mean:
Processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 9
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1500MHz
stepping : 5
cpu MHz : 600.281 ???
[...]
My Laptop, which has a Pentium III 650 also sometimes shows lower
cpu frequency
Is my processor really running on 600 MHz? And if so, any idea why?
I would be greatfull for any hint.
Why not, this is high technology, Intel calls it SpeedStep i think,
they are lowering cpu frequency when it is not used, so your laptop
produces less heat, needs less power, battery lasts longer...
;-)
have fun with Debian
