Hi, All.

Why does my 4.8-PRERELEASE detect my CPU as 1000 MHz instead of real
1200 MHz ?

===Cut===
FreeBSD 4.8-PRERELEASE #0: Sat Mar  1 12:01:00 YEKT 2003
    emz@freedom.norma.perm.ru.:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FREEDOM
Timecounter "i8254"  frequency 1193182 Hz
CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU                1000MHz (1009.95-MHz 686-class CPU)

I have the same problem on 4.6-RELEASE (real CPU frequency is 1700
MHz):

I have some FreeBSD-boxes running with CPU frequency lower than 1GHz -
FreeBSD detects them correctly.

Is it some kind of misconfiguration ? Can it cause problems ?

Thanks a lot.

                          WBR.
