Question New Computer CPU question (clock frequency)

I just had my bday and got a new pc with these specs...
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ AM2
Gigabyte M55SLI-S4 AM2 socket mobo
1 gig Geil Value (heatsink series) DDR2-800 Dual Channel
eVGA 7600gt KO 256mb DDR3

Now my question is when I boot up the computer the display before windows shows my CPU clock frequency to 200mhz. My old pentium4 machine with a MSI neo 2 board would show 400mhz. Is this a problem???
