Re: [ubuntu-uk] pc frequency monitoring thing in taskbar
If you are looking for a general CPU usage monitor, add the System Monitor
applet and deselect the memory and swap/load monitors. CPU frequency scaling is
something different.Regards,TomSTONE COLD wrote:

Re: [ubuntu-uk] pc frequency monitoring thing in taskbarI 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.Regards,TomSTONE COLD wrote:
so whats the 38%? is it an inaccurate reading?im using this on a desktop not a
mobile pc btw!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] pc frequency monitoring thing in taskbarHi,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.Regards,TomSTONE

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! Regards Javad
