[gentoo-user] Real CPU speed

[Grant]

How can I determine my current CPU speed?  I have a Celeron 700 that
should be running at 1050 if I insulated one of its pins correctly.
All of the information I can find on determining CPU speed is related
to mobile speedstep processors and mine is a desktop CPU.

Hi Grant,

 try 

	 cat /proc/cpuinfo

 which will give you a hint, what the Linux kernel thinks what you CPU
 is and with which clock it runs.

 Keep hacking!

Darn:

cpu MHz         : 697.899

Back to the overclocking forum.

Will do!  Any way you know of to check my front side bus and memory bus speed?

Try 'cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq'

Unfortunately:

cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq: No such
file or directory

Yes, but the kernel will ask the CPU for some of that information.

More interesting is probably the bogomips value, or better: the amount
that value has changed. Maybe there's still a trace
in /var/log/messages from a bootup before overclocking.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BogoMips for some information about
approximate multipliers for determining MHz from that.

Oscilloscope! :-) Maybe your BIOS has monitoring for such values?

Hi,

 if 

	cat /proc/frontsidebus

 gives you: "No such file or directory" you will not have one....
 
 :)  <------ VERY big smiley ! ;)



 I dont know what CPU is running for you, but some cupper-wire tricks
 only influence the multiplikator and this may (or may not) affect
 the cpuinfo entries....dont know for sure...I only mention this to
 keep you attention on the fact the "nothing happens" may result in
 "nothing happens anymore" when/if the CPU is internally near core
 melt in cpuinfo goes on holidays....

 Keep hacking!
