As you can see in my sig, I have an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Venice Processor. It's socket 939. When I look it up online it tells me that the core speed for this processor is 2.2 GHz. However, when I run CPU-Z (latest version), my core speed only runs at 1000 MHz. I am running Vista Ultimate. everything else aside from whats mentioned in my sig is stock its a compaq PC. When I start a program or a new firefox window i see the core speed jump to range of 1800-2200 MHz but it quickly settles back to 1000 MHz. Can someone inform me of what the issue could be here. Do I have to enable some kind of setting in the BIOS? It's the stock motherboard so I don't know if I can tweak anything. Thanks in advance.
