A few lines down you should see something like: cpu MHz : 199.906 That should give you the speed. and you already know (from above) the model. Failing that the messages generated at boot are available in dmesg ie dmesg|egrep 'Detected.*MHz processor' Detected 199.906 MHz processor.

It is a way of estimating the CPU speed. See the FAQ on kernel.org for a more detailed explanation. BogoMIPS were invented because not all CPUs report their speed, or report it correctly. I have an old i486 (25MHz) here and /proc/cpuinfo doesn't know the name, vendor, model, or speed. All it knows is that it is in family 4 and has a bogomips value of 12.41 (and that there is no FPU on it). BogoMIPS is related to CPU speed, but it isn't a direct correleation and is dependent on the CPU model. (see the table in that FAQ) -D

Re: Getting CPU model and speed without rebooting
Generally, you'll have better luck getting an answer to your question by doing the following things: Use a subject line that contains the subject of your message, not someone else's. Relatedly, unless you're actually replying to something someone else said, don't hit 'reply' in your mailer. Compose a new message for each thread of conversation (i.e. for each question). If you do reply, it's usually best to do it below the original message, so that if someone then replies to you, all of the quotings will be in logical chronological order. I'm continuing to reply umop-apisdn, because I don't know where else to write this in any logical order. I don't mean to flame you; just trying to help out with a few bits of advice.
