Here's mine for what it's worth:
lchata at ubuntu-hardy-64bit:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name'
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
lchata at ubuntu-hardy-64bit:~$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
3000000 2800000 2600000 2400000 2200000 2000000 1800000 1000000
3000000 2800000 2600000 2400000 2200000 2000000 1800000 1000000
