I don't know how accurate it is, but I think it reads better if you set
it to show the frequency units rather than a percentage. I've come
across desktops with mobile processors in them before, there may also
be some desktop processors with scaling features that I don't know
about.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I assume you mean the CPU frequency scaling monitor? This doesn't
monitor CPU activity per se, it's for use with mobile processors with
Speedstep technology. When the CPU isn't being maxed out it will run at
a lower clock speed to save energy (to extend battery life) - mine
flips between 600MHz and 1.4GHz.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a q about my pc. I dragged and dropped the CPU frequency
monitoring thing into my taskbar. <br>
But it seems to be stuck on 38% constantly..even when the pc is
idle..when i open up an app it will jump to 100% and then back again..<br>
<br>
What could be causing this?<br>
<br>
Im using gutsy!<br>
<br>
