Could some list members post the result of the
following two commands (second "cat" command may
break across two lines):

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name'
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

I'm looking to upgrade my current Sempron 1.8GHz
and am interested to find which mainstream dual-
core processor (Intel or AMD) is most efficient
at doing nothing. (The Atom would be too slow
for me.)

My results:

model name : AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+
1800000 1000000

TIA
