Here's mine. Interesting differences:
If you disable Intel Speedstep in the BIOS it should lock the CPU to its fastest speed, but you lose power saving during idle.
Thanks for the suggestion. I still recall that in CentOS 5.x there was speedstep control available from gnome... and from the CLI too of course. I don't see it in C7.3.
Currently I don't actually need more speed. This is already a fairly peppy laptop... like right now the load is about 2%. If it was any lower, I could almost turn this machine off and still run everything. :) Ah but seriously, I'd rather have the speed cranked down and save the battery. That's the one weak spot: this gal can drain a battery faster than a dog can down a bag of cookies. Still, I'd like to have control in gnome over cpu speed again.
Thanks again.
