Well, yeah, I knew you could get it straight out of /proc, but I thought he wanted to see it somehow represented graphically.
He can also get much more useful information than raw CPU speed in /proc/cpuinfo by looking up his bogomips, which correspond to an adjusted rating MUCH nicer than a simple reading of the CPU speed in Mhz. It's a mini benchmark (take it with many grains of salt though... it's only truly useful when comparing Family/Family to show better performance within a chip, or Chip to identical chip, not when BOTH change... too many variables). BTW, even /proc/cpuinfo has it's limits... it assigns the "Raw" cpu speed on CPUs, which may "misidentify" them if they used the old PR ratings (i.e., I have a Cyrix MII 300 which is ACTUALLY a 3.5x66Mhz (233Mhz) CPU, but Cyrix branded it a PR300....) so if I wanted to describe it by it's tradename, I need to know I need to make that change myself. Also BTW, it's xosview in Linux that I was recommending; osview is on the SGIs I also work on alot.
