It's a compilation time option when you build a new Linux kernel. I don't know how to check it on an existing kernel. Most pre-built kernels default to 100Hz

If you got your /boot directory, you will see a config file, typically named config-<kernel-release>

search for CONFIG_HZ

The number against it will give you the Timer Frequency

Hi

by default its not going to 1000Hz
and its only availbale 2.6.11 onwards

you need to compile the kernel to make 1000Hz
