NODE e111e78dTo find the clock speed of a sun workstation
Hi

Is there anyway of finding the clock speed of the CPU on a Sun workstation?
As far as i know it can be found only by rebooting the machine and using
module-info? And I believe that the module-info does a no-op loop for a
a known number of times and calculates the time taken.

I would like to know if there is anyother way to finding it.

Thanks!

The sysinfo program does this.  Don't recall how.  get a version later
than 2.2; earlier ones have bugs when installed setuid.

Open up the box and look at the crystal.

Or, Attach a loop of wire to the probe of a frequency counter and move 
the probe around till you get a reading.
