Hi! I am running FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE on a Soekris Net6501-70 which has the following CPU: CPU: Genuine Intel(R) CPU @ 1.60GHz (1600.04-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x20661 Family = 6 Model = 26 Stepping = 1 Features=0xbfe9fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE> Features2=0x40e3bd<SSE3,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,MOVBE> AMD Features=0x20100000<NX,LM> AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF> TSC: P-state invariant, performance statistics Running a GENERIC (i386) kernel the cpu by default runs at only 600Mhz: % sysctl dev.cpu dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu dev.cpu.0.%parent: legacy0 dev.cpu.0.freq: 600 dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 1600/-1 1400/-1 1200/-1 1000/-1 800/-1 600/-1 400/-1 200/-1 I either have to run 'sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=1600' or run 'powerd' to make the cpu faster.
