Another suggestion is to search your dmesg output for frequency
scaling. It's one of the following commands. I just ran one or both
of them on my linux box this morning to make sure frequency scaling
was working.
dmesg | fgrep power
dmesg | fgrep k8
Another option, if you are using Debian/Ubuntu, load the menu bar
(someone, please correct me) item that monitors the "frequency
scaling". Mine showed my processor cores, Athlon BE-2350, at 1Ghz.
