If everything else works, then the problem is probably with the thing that doesn't work, the ps command. Seems to me like an obvious place to look. I was really surprised by the intense negative reaction to overclocking. The manufacturer tests the parts an then decides how to mark the parts based on the results of those tests and other marketing considerations, like the demand for slower parts and the embarrassment of not having faster ratings than the competition. The Do-It-Yourselfer tests the whole system and then decides how fast to run it based on the results of those tests and other considerations, like the cost of shortening the life of some parts and the inconvenience of a potential intermittent failure. What's the big deal? Last I heard, even wcarchive.cdrom.com is overclocked. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
