I don't know how accurate it is, but I think it reads better if you set
it to show the frequency units rather than a percentage. I've come
across desktops with mobile processors in them before, there may also be
some desktop processors with scaling features that I don't know about.

Hi,
I assume you mean the CPU frequency scaling monitor? This doesn't
monitor CPU activity per se, it's for use with mobile processors
with Speedstep technology. When the CPU isn't being maxed out it
will run at a lower clock speed to save energy (to extend battery
life) - mine flips between 600MHz and 1.4GHz.

Hi,
I have a q about my pc. I dragged and dropped the CPU
frequency monitoring thing into my taskbar.
But it seems to be stuck on 38% constantly..even when the pc
is idle..when i open up an app it will jump to 100% and then
back again..
What could be causing this?
Im using gutsy!
