Last evening I updated my Cent 5 server to 5.1. All went flawlessly, and it rebooted with the new kernel just fine.

How do I set the clock rate on the new kernel? According to documentation it can be done, but everything I read is rather vague.

Check out section 3 at the URL below: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1/

I'm using a 32 bit server installation (no graphical stuff) on a Dell Poweredge 2650. I'd like to compare performance of a 100 Hz kernel against a 1KHz kernel. It reads like it's simple enough to set the divider if I just knew where to set it.

That section applies only if you are running CentOS in a virtual machine. Is this the case??
