Lines from dmesg: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: VIA C7 Esther+RNG+AES+AES-CTR+SHA1+SHA256+RSA (399.40-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "CentaurHauls" Id = 0x6a9 Stepping = 9 Features=0xa7c9bbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,CMOV,PAT,CLFLUSH,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,TM,PBE> Features2=0x181<SSE3,EST,TM2> It clearly indicates that it's a 400MHz processor, but the timecounter makes me think it' the 1.2 GHz it's supposed to be. > And have a look at the bios.

The BIOS didn't seem to have anything to adjust the CPU speed, but while booting I did notice that it declared itself as a via C7 400MHz processor. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
