    Here is my really slow AMD cpu:

karl at karl-hardy:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name'
model name    : AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+
karl at karl-hardy:~$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/
cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/: Is a directory
karl at karl-hardy:~$ cat 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
1800000 1000000

I think mine is at 1000000 :-)
