I baught it at compusa and it was probably a computer used for costumers to try out before they purchased one. Isnt it aleast suppose to be running 24 0r 2300 hertz. Mine is currently running at 1523.00 hertz what could i do to speed it up????
 
thats probably because speedstep is on.

it just downclocks it when its not needing the extra processing power.

if it bothers you then you can turn it off in the bios.

its called EIST in the bios.
 
Wow i didnt know that thanks. Does that also apply for the graphics card & the memory too?? Anything else i should know before i get out of work and on to my vacation???

no just for the cpu, but its not a problem to have it on. its lowers the cpu multiplyer so that when its not being used it wont run as hot or consume as much power. so there really isnt a problem with having it on. your computer isnt gonna run slower or anything.
