I have a desktop unit with a sempron 2500+ to play with. doing "more /proc/cpuinfo" indicates cpu Mhz as1044 not the 2500 I am familiar with cpuspeed. doing ps ax | grep cpuspeed resulting in nothing. I did service cpuspeed start. No errors reported. ps ax | grep cpuspeed resulted in nothing. I was going to do "killall -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed" to attempt to get 2500+ cpu speed. I am compiling wine right now so I havent gotten back into the BIOS. Is there another way to get the FULL cpu speed. THanks, Jerry
AMD processors labeling has not followed the speed in Mhz for a few years now. The 2500+ is just a designation and not processor speed in Mhz. That is still low as my searching states it should be around 1743Mhz. The BIOS is probably not set correctly if auto detection is not set or if auto detection is set, the bios may not recognize the processor and may need to be updated.

I use AMD chips all the time. To my understanding of how AMD chips work AMD calls it a 2500 because its suppose to be equal to an INTEL chip that runs as 2500 even though the actual clock shows it slower. They started doing that with the XP chips which Sempron replaced. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Jerry Geis Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 9:14 AM To: centos at centos.org Subject: [CentOS] sempron 2500+ running at 1044 cpu speed.

This doesn't mean the sempron is runing at that speed. Its only to compare the proccesing power of the sempron with an equal intel processor. However 1044Mhz looks still slow as it should be 1743Mhz. Maybee you should check to see if your bios is set up correctly.
