    If this is not the right forum, sorry I dont know if this is hardware related problem or software so I just picked one.

    Just recently re-installed win-xp after a hard drive issue, and once i had everything up running and installed I noticed that my sys. properties says my cpu is running at 2.01Ghz. Cpu-z says 1.04Ghz as well as most of the other programs that identify cpu's( mbm, msi's core center, etc.)
    I have checked the bios and every thing is set to default, no overclocking, my drivers are all up to date and my bios revision is the newest.
    Please help!

    Also the temps are not the same (bios says 42'c, core center 33'c)

    Amd 64 3200+
    Msi k8n neo2 platinum ( bios rev. 1.8 )
    ati 9800pro
    1g corsair 3200
    win xp

    Hello

    I just wanted to knoe if you checked the mb jumpers some have settings for the board that set processor speed. and if you have updated the bios go into the bios setup choose the load defaults and them F10 to save and exit see what happens.

    The Msi board that I have does not have jumpers for the processor speed. I will try to load defaults and see what happens.
    Thanks for the reply.
