conky- cpu speed display

[blur xc]

So, I've got an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0ghz processor- says so in my bios and system information screens (and on the box it came in).

Conky says its only a 2.0ghz processor. What gives? I paid close attention today when I booted up, and it said 3.0ghz for the first few seconds, and once it was finished starting up, it dropped to 2.0ghz. I recall seeing something about that when I first set up the system, may have been while installing ubuntu (don't perfectly recall). Should I not care? Or is there a way to make it run at 3.0ghz? Or is it a Conky issue?

thanks

It might be the "CPU Frequency Scaling" function?

This command should give you the supported frequensys:


cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

That's probably it- found this on a google search- http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/

Thanks,
