dmidecode can grab that information.. not sure exactly what you are trying to do with it..

Code:

it-etch:~# dmidecode | grep 'External Clock'
        External Clock: 800 MHz

CPU wattage, I think you will need to lookup in the manufacturers specs, for the installed CPU..

hey, thanks for your reply....
i have to write a program which gives me FSB speed and CPU wattage attribute.
i think your dmidecode suggestion will be helpful.
