Sitsofe, I am attempting to confirm that cpuinfo on a Xandros eeepc 701 install on a reports 800 Mhz
I have also added outputs of `dpkg -l` and `lsmod` if these can be of any help. It is not a problem to post anything else you may need from the machine.
I am using the first BIOS version 0129 produced for this machine at its release. Xandros update software proposes BIOS upgrades but fails to install them. Asus support does not recommend the upgrade and are not assisting with the issue.
Having a slower clock speed will discourage people from installing Ubuntu when another distro allows the speed it was designed for. If we both believe and can agree that user experience and hardware support are extemely important factors, we can therefore agree that this is a fair argument. I agree with you on the fact that they are able to install and run Ubuntu, but nobody should sacrifice such a performance hit for making that choice.
If 800mhz is a safe speed, it should be standard. If we run it at 571mhz, there there needs to be an easy way for users to scale up. I personally prefer the former.
