Hi all,

           I have an A21m which is working perfectly in all respects.
However, it was only now that I discovered that Linux (kernel 2.4.2-2)
detects my processor as a PIII 344.180 MHz processor with a BogoMIPS of
679.93 when my machine is a PIII at 800 MHz !

           I suspect this has something to do with the SpeedStep technology
thing but I remember somebody else complaining about something similar so
I am wondering what do I have to do to make sure it recognizes the
processor's speed correctly ?

           Regards,

                     Ravi

           P.S RH 7.1, stock kernel
