I've also tried using the Power plugin to measure CPU frequency, but I'm experiencing a different problem there. The power plugin will display a CPU frequency that more or less agrees with what Windows Task Manager shows, but only very broadly. It appears to be rounded to the nearest 500 MHz or so. That is, if I'm using PowerPlugin and PowerState=MHz, it will show either 1200, 1900, or 2300. Task Manager will report the frequency as 1.21GHz, or 1.17GHz, or 1.33GHz, but PowerPlugin just sticks at 1200 MHz. Oh, occasionally it will report 2301 MHz instead of 2300.
Am I doing something wrong, or is my computer actually completely wacko?
