   WindowsXP shows wrong cpu speed...   
   10 Jan 07 13:16:22   
   
   From: mailregdump@gmail.com   
      
   I purchased a new motherboard and CPU, an Athlon64 3200+ with an Abit   
   NF-M2S motherboard.  My existing XP install booted up just fine, I   
   installed the drivers from the CD, and all seemed to be fine.   
      
   However, right-clicking "My Computer" and selecting "Properties" shows a   
   CPU speed of 575 mhz, instead of the 2000mhz it SHOULD report.   
      
   Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Information also reports   
   575 mhz.   
      
   Most third-party utilities report the correct speed, but the bad data   
   seems to be throwing off some third party application's keyboard repeat   
   delay/settings.   
      
   Any idea what to check?  I've installed Athlon64 drivers from AMD, with no   
   real change.  As far as I can tell all powernow/etc. functions are   
   disabled, it should be running at 2000mhz at all times.
