That's one way. There's a typematic rate and delay setting
in most bios setups, plus a way to disable it. Mine is disabled.

Windows handles the rate itself, independent of the bios. I don't
know about DOS, though I've always assumed without testing that
the bios setting was used by it.

BTW, in NT cpu bar graphs, the red part is cpu busy in kernel
mode; the green part is non-kernel, and their sum (the whole bar)
is total cpu busy. It's slightly inaccurate but basically
correct to think of these as OS and user cpu time.

On the line history graph, the red line
is kernel and the green line is total, the difference between
the red and green lines being user. You can toggle the kernel
time display on the View menu.
