Are you running any of the cpufreq packages that might be limiting the speed on one of the systems?
If you are running cpufrequitls, what does cpufreq-info say?
Thanks for that pointer. On the 1.2GHz system it says the following (along with lots of other things):
current CPU frequency is 1.20 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). cpufreq stats: 1.80 GHz:6.27%, 1.20 GHz:93.73% (59743)
On the 1.8GHz system it gives the following as it's entire output. So it seems that the NEC which always runs at 1.8GHz is the broken one in this regard. But I'm still chasing performance problems with the Lenovo...
What sort of performance problems? Do you think it's CPU speed related or was that just something you noticed while comparing systems? James
