Upcoming Ubuntu Karmic x64 kernel frequency

If you thought that the generic kernel frequency of x64 (amd64) architecture in Ubuntu Karmic is 250 Hz then you are there for a surprise! It is just 100Hz (no no, I want 1000Hz without using a rt kernel). This might change with final build or release candidate build of Ubuntu Karmic

I am having upcoming Ubuntu Karmic 64 bit installed in my system (using its daily live CD)

I checked what is the kernel frequency by using grep on the kernel config file in /boot directory

cat /boot/config-2.6.31-14-generic | grep HZ

 It is still very very snappy with just 100Hz. I checked the kernel frequency in an IBM thinkpad which has 32 bit karmic, but it shows 250Hz (It is an irony that a 32 bit kernel has a 250Hz freq and a 64 bit kernel has 100Hz freq)

This might change with upcoming release candidate of karmic or  final build of karmic
