hmm, im pretty sure proccessors are not supposed to go less then 4 times their speed.

I got the following when i tested my intel processor. i am pretty sure that i was not supposed to get such horrible results. if anyone can give me advice on how i can fix this, you help will be very appreciated.

Re: hmm, im pretty sure proccessors are not supposed to go less then 4 times their sp

this is the part that really bothers me. Reported Processor Frequency is 0.81 GHz, while Expected is 3.0, and the Reported System Bus Frequency is 218 MHz while Expected is 218. i experience very bad hardware lag. once again i would appreciate any help.

Something in your BIOS is out of whack. Your FSB setting is at 218 and it should be at 800. Go into your BIOS and use the 'install default settings' option (it's usually F10; but not always). You might have to power down, unplug the power cord, and use the motherboard jumper to reset the BIOS to original factory spec. Then move the jumper back, enter BIOS, set the date and time, and make sure that the BIOS sees the CPU correctly. Also, go to your motherboard maker's web site and see if the motherboard supports your CPU with the current BIOS version; an update might be necessary.
