My sig is out of date and i dont feel like updating it. i have a MSI nforce650 based motherboard and a core 2 duo e4300. my problem is that cpu-z reports my multiplier dropping from 9x to 6x everytime the cpu stops doing powerful tasks. at first i thought it was eist but i checked in the bios and i have it disabled. could anything else be causing this?
