More than likely Speedstep was enabled in your bios by default, you just need to disable it.

AMD's Cool&Quiet wasn't fully implemented until the AM2 boards arrived. It was first seen on 754s then on 939s where the X2s and FX-53(single core) were the only models for use there.
Speedstep is built into some of the Intel models. Besides seeing that it is disabled in the bios you also have to go into the power options to change the power profile to performance. For XP that would be the Always On option.
