Umm.. After some research, i found the psrinfo command, and it says...

alpha:~> psrinfo -v
Status of processor 0 as of: 07/25/02 02:01:10
   Processor has been on-line since 07/24/2002 19:46:57
   The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 366 MHz,
  and has an alpha internal floating point processor.

It's a 500Mhz, I swear!!!!

Please help.
