If you are looking for a general CPU usage monitor, add the System
Monitor applet and deselect the memory and swap/load monitors. CPU
frequency scaling is something different.

I don't know how accurate it is, but I think it reads better if
you set it to show the frequency units rather than a percentage.
I've come across desktops with mobile processors in them before,
there may also be some desktop processors with scaling features
that I don't know about.

Hi,
I assume you mean the CPU frequency scaling monitor? This
doesn't monitor CPU activity per se, it's for use with
mobile processors with Speedstep technology. When the CPU
isn't being maxed out it will run at a lower clock speed
to save energy (to extend battery life) - mine flips
between 600MHz and 1.4GHz.

Hi,
I have a q about my pc. I dragged and dropped the CPU
frequency monitoring thing into my taskbar.
But it seems to be stuck on 38% constantly..even when
the pc is idle..when i open up an app it will jump to
100% and then back again..
What could be causing this?
Im using gutsy!
Regards
Javad
