Weird stuff in /proc/cpuinfo

[Tim Renner]

I've got the same type of processor... cat /proc/cpuinfo gives...

model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU      1200MHz
cpu MHz         : 799

I thought the processor speed clocked down when the machine was unplugged, 
so in my case, it runs at 1.2 GHz when plugged in, and only 800 MHz when I'm 
running on batteries...  In this case, I started XP unplugged and then 
plugged it in later...
