I have just realised that my CPU is now registering as 1.99 or 1.98 GHZ but it used to say 2.0 GHz as it should - any idea why this has happened?

mabey you underclocked it by accident?

just go into the bios and push it up to 2.0?

Can't you still change the FSB?

Some motherboards lower the FSB by 1 or .1Mhz, it's no big deal at all, and is common with pre-built PC's.

Really... do you care about a loss of 1-10Mhz?

of course :O
im never satisfied when my sempron is at 1.49 ghz. It must be over 1.5

This computer (AMD 1800+) Sometimes starts at 1466mhz, or 1500mhz.
I'm not sure if there's a method to the madness, but I don't really care :p

lovely?

its only a 2ghz proc? i always thought it was faster. even my 3400 has a higher clock speed. 2.4ghz. (yea, i know, only one core.)

Sometimes scientists make things alot harder than they need to. All they've gotta do is put a big spring on the ground where they think it's gonna land, or send a mission to the moon to erect a sign that says "Welcome to Earth".

if ur not satisfied with ur processors few mhz under what it should be then maybe you should get into the big boys toy's of mobo's that can overclock cpu's and getout the prebuilt computers ...
