I don't need a great deal of precision. Background: we have a Single Board
Computer (SBC) which is advertised (both printed material and BIOS settings)
to operate at either 100 MHz or 133 MHz FSB. As far as we can tell, it's
always operating at 100 MHz because the CPU frequency determination in Linux
(2.2.18 kernel) gives the same speed regardless of the BIOS setting. We're
going to update the BIOS with a new version that I've downloaded from the
vendor and hope that it will solve the problem so we can install a 133FSB
processor.
We'd like to find a program that's faster to get results than a full bootup
of Linux. Most preferable would be a standalone program and second choice
is an MSDOS program that could be executed from a floppy or ZIP disk bootup.
I couldn't find anything using Google that ran in anything other than
Windows and Intel's DOS-offering is just a CPU-type and not a speed meter.
TIA
