Yes there is a cpu frequency applet it supports two frequencies 800
and 1600MHz. Usually machine runs at 800Mhz. I think AMD Turion
processor has more frequency states. But only two are visible.
When I see the what all types of governors are available, I see there
are three governors

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
ondemand userspace performance

 My machine uses ondemand.

I googled how man types of governors are available in some link I
found there are 5 governors. "conservative, ondemand, powersave,
userspace, performance". As I am an end user I don't know much. But I
want to know what I am getting is normal or not?
Even I do have a Nvidia graphics card its core temperature is always
reaches about 70 degree Centigrade. I think this is the one which
heats up my machine a lot.
