Slower CPU frequency reported by the kernel

["Francis Moreau" <francis.moro@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm using a PC with AMD 64 3000+ cpu which is theoricaly running at
2Ghz. But when looking at /proc/cpuinfo, the kernel reports that it
runs only at 1Ghz:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 15
model           : 12
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
stepping        : 0
cpu MHz         : 1000.000
cache size      : 512 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 lm
3dnowext 3dnow ts fid vid ttp
bogomips        : 2004.89

I tried with a 2.6.20-rc7 kernel and still have the same.

What's going wrong ?

thanks
