CPU Freq for 1.66 Ghz PowerBooks

[Jonathan Hartje]

Andy,
    Thanks for replying. Unfortunately, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 is 
an empty dir! Also, /proc/cpufreq is empty. I see in /proc/cpuinfo that 
the chip is detected as a 1.66 GHz chip, but the bogomips stays around 
850 or so. My benchmarks with my company's internal software reveals 
that the machines are running about half their normal speed. Any 
suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'd poke though the source code 
myself if I thought I knew what I was doing..

Thanks,
Jon
