Yes, but the kernel will ask the CPU for some of that information. > Darn: > > cpu MHz : 697.899 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. > Will do!
