i tried using cat /proc/cpuinfo and under model name where i usually find it on my other machines i see
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+
is the 4000+ my cpu speed or what im used to seeing it like 1.3 ghz or 2.0 ghz or something

Hello,
Nope, I do believe that is part of the name of your CPU. If I have the right CPU, this is the speed of your CPU "2.1" ghz. Install "sysinfo" to be able to see all of your hardware details, including CPU details.
To download via the terminal, sudo;
sudo apt-get install sysinfo
Yours should read off as "2100.000 MHz" in sysinfo.
right-o thanks mate
although it is only a 2.1 ghz sigh lol
Paste the output from lshw:
Code:sudo apt-get install lshw sudo lshw -C CPUNo, there were a few AMD chips to use this model name and some of them had different speeds. At the time, '4000' meant it was the equivalent of a Pentium4/D 4.0GHz (to help consumers that couldn't grasp the concept of CPU performance being based on factors besides clock speed).is the 4000+ my cpu speed

Yeah, I actually remembered that Ubuntu dropped mono from all default installs since 12.04. sysinfo is good for those allergic to terminals, but I hate that annoying bug where it says "Unknown Graphics" and the user freaks out about video drivers.
I hate that bug, especially when the distro detects what it is through its Detail page. And he would probably get the "exec: 9: mono: not found" problem in Xubuntu too, so your step should definitely be taken.
Although, if I remember correctly, he could try going into the System Monitor if he does prefer a GUI. It should display there the way he was originally looking for. It should be in Menu > System > System Monitor.
That should display the same thing sysinfo does, and will also have a GUI.
