I have overclocked a core 2 duo (E8400) from 3 to 4GHz using motherboard
BIOS settings. Although in windows I can see the overclocked frequency
(when cpu is under load), in linux /proc/cpuinfo never shows beyond the
stock 3GHz value. Is /proc/cpuinfo showing the actual frequency? Does
this mean my overclocking settings have no effect on linux?
