CPU frequency problem
Dear Buddy:
I am confused about the cpu frequency of my thinkpad T21. The cpu is 750 MHz and my OS is Ubuntu Breezy Badger and windows xp dual boot.These days I feel the system is slow, both in Ubuntu and windows. Then I checked /proc/cpuinfo. The frequency shown was 163.479 mHz.
the following is the output:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping : 3
cpu MHz : 163.479
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse
bogomips : 302.28
But the cpu frequency monitor shows the speed is 600MHz at the 80% of the whole cpu capacity.
I reboot to windows, in the computer system property -> general tab, it shows the frequency is 192 MHz.
wah, now I am wondering whether it is a hardware problem or software problem.
I am very appreciated if anyone can give me some suggestions, !
