Yes, but the kernel will ask the CPU for some of that information. |

More interesting is probably the bogomips value, or better: the amount |
| 29 |
that value has changed. Maybe there's still a trace |
| 30 |
in /var/log/messages from a bootup before overclocking. |

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BogoMips for some information about |
| 33 |
approximate multipliers for determining MHz from that. |

Oscilloscope! :-) Maybe your BIOS has monitoring for such values? |
