Since two weeks I have Debian 3.0 with kernel 2.6.7 on my Asus M6726NW laptop. My question is what does this mean:Processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 9 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1500MHz stepping : 5 cpu MHz : 600.281 ???
[...]My Laptop, which has a Pentium III 650 also sometimes shows lower cpu frequency
Is my processor really running on 600 MHz? And if so, any idea why? I would be greatfull for any hint.
Why not, this is high technology, Intel calls it SpeedStep i think, they are lowering cpu frequency when it is not used, so your laptop produces less heat, needs less power, battery lasts longer...
;-) have fun with Debian Chris
