Monitoring processor speed

Tom Dunne · 2006-02-10 19:12:54

As the new laptop is Centrino and the speed of the processor can be varied to save power, can anyone recommend a program to show the current speed? Just curious more than anything.

I think that only shows what the specification of the processor not the current speed, or does it?

Edit: I sit corrected. Just tried it and toggled the power settings. Showed I was running at 600Mhz.

Makes you think, really. Who needs 3Ghz?
