Just curious. What is up with the odd cpu MHz: indicated with the results of cat /proc/cpuinfo here? This PC is an emachine with AMD Sempron 3100+ and is supposed to be 1.8 MHz 64bit processor (flag for 64 bit indicated). Don’t now how the system detects and provides this info but could having 32bit installed instead of 64bit have anything to do with this?
PC is dual boot XP and openSUSE 12.1-32bit from dvd, 1 gig of ddr3, GeForce 6100 graphics on board.

Hi
That’s just the speed it was running at when you catted the file.
Install cpufreq-utils and run cpufreq-info, for example;
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 1000.000
cpufreq-info

analyzing CPU 0:
driver: powernow-k8
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 1
maximum transition latency: 109 us.
hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 2.20 GHz
available frequency steps: 2.20 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.80 GHz, 1000 MHz
available cpufreq governors: conservative, userspace, powersave, ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 2.20 GHz. The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use within this range.
current CPU frequency is 1000 MHz.
