AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ and Ubuntu 7.04 32 bit

[jgplummer]

I am using a AMD 64 X2 5200+ on Ubuntu Feisty 32 bit, and when I run 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' it returns the following:

Now, considering the 5200+ is a 2.6 Ghz dual core, shouldnt the 'cpu Mhz' say 2600.00 Mhz instead of 1000 Mhz? What can I do to fix this?

Hi jgplummer,

Welcome to the LinuxForums.

execute 'cpufreq-info' command and post output here.

Feisty has recognized your cpu correctly and configured it using 'cpufreq' utility.
its a very useful utility. current policy is 'ondemand', which means you have desktop computer and whenever system will require more 'cpu power', cpufreq will switch to 2.6 GHz.
if you have laptop, policy should be 'powersave'.
check the manual of 'cpufreq'. cpufreq --help.
