UbuntuOhio Touchpad question?

[Jacob Peddicord]

I'm not sure about the touch pad, but the dual core processor showing 2x800
is completely natural due to frequency scaling. Your PC will automatically
overclock (per se) the cores from 800 all the way to 1600 if you use them
intensively. When doing day-to-day tasks, it will probably stay around
800mhz ~ 1ghz. When gaming or doing any multimedia editing/viewing, it will
turn up the speed of the processor to adapt to what you are doing.
