Re: Wrong cpu speed detection... FIXED!!

Thank you for the tip. The cpu speed was in low power in BIOS settings.
Turning it to high power did the trick.

Thanks again,
Ricardo Diz

 What power mode is your machine in when it boots? My Toshiba
automagically slows down the CPU when it is on battery power or not set to
"Full
power mode". Since the kernel only checks the CPU speed on boot, it will
report
an incorrect speed until you restart.
