how come i get this on the system properties.

compaq computer corporation
compaq evo
mobile intel pentium 4-M 1.80ghz
1.20ghz 1gb of ram

why does it say both 1.80ghz and 1.20ghz?
i am suppouse to have 1.80ghz.

it may be that it is a mobile chip for a laptop, the cpu could run at a lower clock speed when it is not doing cpu intensive apps. for a more accurate cpu speed measure use cpu-z http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

 

[alfredw1]

it says 1198mhz

 

[dave597]

it says 1198mhz

does that number increase when you are using cpu intensive apps? e.g. running prime95?

 

[alfredw1]

whats "prime95"?

 

[dave597]

whats "prime95"?

a program which searches for prime numbers. it is cpu intensive, so when you are running it your cpu speed should increase, check in cpu-z to see if it does

Yup, it's pretty common for current chips to change their speeds, mobile or not.
