CPU underclocked!

Since I upgraded to Mandriva 2007, my laptop Presario R3000 works with a frequency of 798MHz instead of 1.6GHz. :huh:

How can I recover the full power of my CPU?

 

cat /proc/cpuinfo

processor : 0

vendor_id : AuthenticAMD

cpu family : 15

model : 12

model name : AMD Athlon XP Processor 3000+

stepping : 0

cpu MHz : 798.006

cache size : 256 KB

fdiv_bug : no

hlt_bug : no

f00f_bug : no

coma_bug : no

fpu : yes

fpu_exception : yes

cpuid level : 1

wp : yes

flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow up ts fid vid ttp

bogomips : 1598.03

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestion....

Hi joaopa,

 

disabling the "cpufreqd" service using MCC (Mandriva Control Center) or manually do this using chkconfig should be enough. Cpufreqd is for throttling CPU speed, mostly in laptops to save electric power (in order to run just on batteries for a longer period of time). Except for simply disabling this, you could also finetune that option in order to fit your needs. There are different governors and preconfigured schemes.

 

HTH,
