No, it will behave the same (at least approximately) wit

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
