Hi,
I've just built a new machine with a Core i5-760 CPU. Max speed is 2.80GHz (turbo mode notwithstanding). I've also done a vanilla install of Ubuntu 10.10.
I've added the cpufreq-selector applet to the top panel, and its menus only allow me to select up to 2.39GHz. If I select the "performance" governor, it also
shows 2.39GHz.

available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 2.39 GHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 1.20 GHz.

[...CPUs 1-3 elided, but similar...]
Any idea how to get Ubuntu and the various tools to recognise this as a 2.80GHz processor? And ideally to report the actual speed when running in turbo mode too, but that's not critical.
Edit: I should probably add that the BIOS (& Windows) are quite happy that it's a 2.80GHz CPU.
Thanks.
