I've notice this weird thing happening to my pc...it's been 3 days since I upgraded my pc from 2.40Ghz to a 2.80GHz cpu before that the properties of my pc showed a 2.40Ghz cpu but now it says that I have a 1.40Ghz instead of a 2.80 I want to know if theres something keepin my cpu from running at its max capacity...and yes its running like it's 1.40Ghz. thanks for your help.

I installed a mobile pentium 4 socket 478 in a desktop motherboard. intel # SL724 It's a 2.66 Ghz with a buss speed of 533mhz. Processor Frequency 2.66 GHz CPUID String 0F29h Package Type 478 pin PPGA Core Voltage 1.550 Bus Speed 533 MHz Thermal Guideline 66.1W Core Stepping D1 Thermal Spec 100°C L2 Cache Size 512 KB Manufacturing Technology 0.13 micron L2 Cache Speed 2.66 GHz Bus/Core Ratio 20 The board does not have native Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology It runs at a low 1.6Ghz. I am looking for a board that has the dynamic vid and enhanced speedstep technology. I have not yet found a desktop board.

so you mean that the problem could be my board??

what is your CPU? i assume it is pentium4. maybe your fsb have been decreased to 100MHZ? 14*200 = 2.8GHZ but it runs at 14*100 = 1.4GHZ Athlon 64 2800+ @ 2.63 Ghz Stock Cooling Timings:2-3-2-5 V-Gen 512MB pc3200 DFI Lanparty UT NF3 Abit R9550 VGuru XTurbo 525Mhz/300Mhz

Try going into BIOS and checking your FSB and make sure it is on the correct FSB. The multiplier is usually correct so you should just check the FSB and make sure it is at the correct specs. Build-in-Progress: NZXT Nemesis Elite Athlon 64 3200 Abit An8 OCZ EL PE Rev2 DDR400 X800PRO

Carlos P. - maybe your board does not support 2.8 GHz. 98% of the population is asleep. The other 2% are staring around in complete amazement, abject terror, or both.
